What you’re looking at
This page presents Judge magazine's reader competition: identify six American rivers depicted in cartoon illustrations, plus name a product advertised in the issue. Winners receive cash prizes ($5 for best entry) or subscriptions to Judge's Quarterly. The six small cartoon panels show rivers represented through visual metaphors—likely depicting characteristic features or scenes associated with specific American waterways. Contestants must write brief articles (under 200 words) arguing whether Judge is improving or declining as a publication. The page is surrounded by period advertisements for cigarettes, champagne, cocktails, collars, and other consumer goods typical of 1909. This contest format was common in early-20th-century magazines as an engagement strategy. The puzzle rewards both puzzle-solving skill and critical commentary on the magazine itself—a self-promotional mechanism disguised as entertainment.
