# Judge's Camera Contest This page showcases humorous photo submissions to a contest. The top cartoon depicts a cowboy judge selecting between entries—a satirical jab at the Remington Arms company's marketing of triple-barreled shotguns to farmers with three daughters. The other entries shown are absurdist gags: one features a woman with beauty products, another shows someone's problem with hidden springs (likely referencing Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, with a visual pun on Mount Rushmore/George Washington), and a third depicts someone stranded on a desert island with Telephone Company bottles—suggesting commentary on corporate reach or dependency. The humor relies on visual wordplay and contemporary consumer culture references typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines.
