What you’re looking at
This page combines a cartooning contest winner with period advertisements. The main content is "Draw Your Own Conclusions Contest No. 7," featuring four comic panels by W.C. Langdon Jr. showing a man performing increasingly dangerous stunts—jumping between platforms, leaping over a railing, and performing circus-like acrobatics. The "Runners Up" section displays similar submission cartoons. The satire appears to be visual wordplay: readers were asked to "draw their own conclusions" from ambiguous premise panels, then submit humorous endings. The winner's panels suggest escalating absurdity and physical danger as comedic conclusion. The right column contains period advertisements typical of early-to-mid 20th century magazines: hair removal treatments ("Unsightly Hair Goes Forever"), musical instruments (Wurlitzer saxophone), leg-straightening devices, drawing instruction courses, Masonic supplies, and Christmas seal fundraising. This reflects Judge's dual nature: satirical cartooning for educated readers alongside commercial advertising targeting consumers with dubious health/beauty products.
