What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, with small humorous filler items. The main illustrated cartoon shows a man being tossed in the air by a cow, captioned "It's a Toss Up." The accompanying text is an advertisement for **Strobl Tailors** (Chicago-based), a large American tailoring establishment. The joke equates the uncertainty of a literal toss-up with the uncertainty customers might feel ordering clothes by mail for $20 to $25 — a significant sum in this era. The ad's pitch: Strobl's advantage as "the largest and best-known tailoring establishment in America" is that they gather "all men, of large or small purse" and guarantee customer satisfaction. The visual pun (literal toss-up) humorously reinforces the commercial message: don't gamble on unknown tailors; trust the established name. The cow adds absurdist humor typical of Judge magazine's style.

And ever since then their heads are still, For they say through their telephone what they will.” St. Nicholas.
