# "Those Irresistible Brownies" This page is primarily **advertising and literary promotion** for Harper & Brothers publishers' summer book releases and other products. The main cartoon—titled "Those Irresistible Brownies: Fourth" and labeled "See St. Nicholas for July"—depicts small, mischievous fairy-like creatures in a nighttime forest scene. This references the popular **"Brownie" character series**, likely by Palmer Cox, which appeared in *St. Nicholas* children's magazine. The brownies were friendly household sprites from folklore, repurposed as whimsical characters for young audiences in the 1890s. The image is promotional material advertising the July issue of *St. Nicholas* magazine (price 25 cents). The page itself contains book listings and a separate advertisement for LePage's Mucilage adhesive, emphasizing this is a commercial publication page rather than editorial content.
