What you’re looking at
This page is primarily an advertisement, not a political cartoon. It promotes "Lucky One Dollar Bills" to readers of Judge magazine (dated September 18, 1926, based on the footer). The ad invites readers to examine their dollar bills for specific criteria: a portrait of the first U.S. President (George Washington), the word "Washington" containing ten letters, and a green back. If a bill meets these conditions, the owner is declared to have a "lucky" dollar bill. Readers are encouraged to mail their lucky dollar bill to Judge's offices in exchange for a ten-week subscription to Judge magazine, described as "The World's Wittiest Weekly." The tagline "Incidentally, do it now" adds promotional urgency. This appears to be a circulation-building scheme using the appeal of lucky money.
