# Analysis This page is **not a cartoon or satirical content**—it's an **announcement and advertisement** from Judge Magazine's publishers. The text announces the upcoming publication of winners from the Third Annual Lenz Bridge Contest, sponsored by General Electric's Mazda Lamps division. Judge Magazine (the new publishers) is taking over from the previous publisher, Judge Publishing Co., Inc., to announce awards and deliver prizes worth $28,000. The announcement emphasizes the contest's popularity and widespread interest, explaining that while some delay in announcing winners was unavoidable, they're committed to maintaining goodwill with prize winners and donors. This is primarily **business correspondence and contest administration**, not satire or editorial commentary.

Next week we shall begin publication of the names of the prize winners in The THIRD ANNUAL LENZ BRIDGE CONTEST SPONSORED BY GENERAL @ ELECTRIC MAZDA LAMPS THE former publishers of JUDGE (Judge Publishing Co., Inc.) were responsible for this contest, in which Mr. Lenz presented problems prepared by himself, Work, Shepard and Whitehead. AS THE new publishers, we undertake the pleasant task of announcing the awards and delivering the prizes. PRIZES to the value of $28,000 were offered, through the cooperation of many nationally known manufacturers and celebrated New York shops. The interest in the contest was so keen and so widespread that, while some delay was unavoidable, we wish to prevent disappointment to the prize winners and to maintain their goodwill toward the donors of the prizes and toward JUDGE.
