# Analysis This page is primarily **advertising content**, not a cartoon or satirical piece. It announces "The Greatest Bridge Contest Ever" by Sidney S. Lenz, starting June 22nd in Judge magazine. The contest invites readers to bid on twelve auction bridge hands for prizes exceeding $10,000, with a grand prize being a Ruxton automobile. Additional prizes include Mediterranean cruises, Caribbean trips, flights, and luxury goods from various companies. The appeal emphasizes that Sidney Lenz—described as a celebrated championship bridge player and "knowledgeable" expert—has personally selected and sealed the bridge hands. The contest promises to match readers' bidding judgment against expert play. This reflects the 1920s-30s fascination with bridge as a popular parlor game, combining it with Judge's typical audience of affluent readers interested in luxury prizes and games of skill.
