# Analysis This page is primarily **advertising content**, not a political cartoon. It announces the "Greatest Bridge Contest Ever" by Sidney S. Lenz, starting in Judge's June 22nd issue. The contest invites readers to bid twelve hands of auction bridge (a card game popular in the 1920s-30s), competing for prizes valued over $13,000. The grand prize is a Ruxton automobile; additional prizes include a Mediterranean cruise, Caribbean cruises, typewriters, golf equipment, and various luxury goods. The text emphasizes that entry is free—no purchase necessary—and that contestants will be judged by bridge experts, competing on skill rather than luck. The contest capitalizes on bridge's popularity among American leisure-class audiences during this era.
