This problem is known as the "Vaniva Problem."  It was composed by
Sidney Lenz (the loser to Culbertson in that match) in 1928 in a
contest promoted by Vaniva Shaving Cream.  Based on the date, I would
guess that this is one of the first ever double-dummy problems in
contract bridge.  (Source: The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge)
