What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page is primarily **advertising and humor content** rather than political satire. The illustrated cartoon at top-right depicts a garden party scene with the caption suggesting guests participate in actual gardening work rather than just socializing—a gentle satire on the leisure activities of the wealthy. The page contains **multiple advertisements**: a Hartman Furniture rocker (50 cents monthly), Cortez cigars, and Pears' soap, using typical early 20th-century marketing language emphasizing value and quality. The humor section includes light anecdotes: an American tourist asking "Who landed him?" about the Duke of Westminster (playing on "landing" a wealthy husband), and a poem about the frustration of an itchy foot that cannot be scratched without tickling. The serious article concerns a **1911 Supreme Court decision** protecting Carthusian monks' exclusive rights to produce Chartreuse liqueur against a competing American company. This reflects contemporary intellectual property debates and the conflict between European monastic traditions and American commercial interests.

Every American goes sightseeing, and as one of the con- ducted trips drove past Grosvenor House, the guide, pointing it out, said, “That is the town house of the Duke of Westminster, one of our largest landed proprietors.’’ A pretty girl on the second seat looked up in sudden enthusiasm. “Oh!'’ she cried. ‘*Who landed him?"’—Christian Endeavor World.

Leedy, in Youngstown Telegram. —London Punch, ‘MONKS WIN RIGHT TO CHARTREUSE United States Supreme Court Favors Carthusian Order in Fight to Protect | Secret of Its Liqueur. By a decision of the United States Su- preme Court the Carthusian Monks, who make the celebrated liqueur known as Char- treuse, have won their fight against the Cusenier Company, a New York corporation, to prevent the latter from using the trade- mark and other indicia of the monks’ prod- uct in the sale of a similar cordial in this country. The Cusenier Company acts as agent for the French liquidator, Mons. Henri Lecontier, appointed by the French courts to take possession of the property of the monks in France under the Associations act of 1901. Following the forcible removal from their monastery, near Voiron, in the Department of Isere, in France, the monks took their liqueur manufacturing secret with them and set up a factory in Tarragona, in Spain, and there have continued to manufacture the cordial, importing from France such herbs as were needed for the purpose. The French liquidator, it is alleged, under- took to make a cordial identical with or closely resembling the monks’ product. In about all substantial details the claims of the monks have been upheld, except that the defendant company has not been held in contempt. Justice Hughes wrote the deci- sion. The jurisdiction of the Circuit Court was upheld. It was also set forth that the monks’ non-use of the trade-mark did not constitute abandonment and that the French law affecting it could not have any extra- territorial effect as far as this country was concerned, and that the monks have an ex- clusive right to the use of the word Char- treuse in the sale of their product in the United States.—New York Herald, June 20, 1911. an answering advertisements please mention JUDGE.
