What you’re looking at

This page from Judge (circa 1911) mixes serious news reporting with satirical "crisp currency" humor columns. **Main Article**: Reports a genuine Supreme Court victory for Carthusian monks against the Cusenier Company. The monks, exiled from France after 1901, manufactured Chartreuse liqueur in Spain and successfully defended their trademark rights in U.S. courts. Justice Hughes ruled the monks' non-use didn't constitute abandonment and that French law had no authority over U.S. sales. **Satirical Sections**: The "Crisp Currency" humor pieces mock contemporary life—marital relationships, business practices, social pretense. Notable: one joke about a man who sends kisses instead of money; another satirizes class consciousness about employment status. **Context for Modern Readers**: This reflects early 20th-century American fascination with international commerce disputes and trademark law, alongside genteel humor targeting marriage, class anxiety, and workplace hierarchies—concerns recognizable today despite period-specific references.

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- elusive 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. .
