Ganthers Sons** - fur clothing retailer on Fifth Avenue, New York 2. **Hollanders** - dress and clothing shop in Boston and New York 3. **Whiting Mfg Co.** - sterling silver manufacturer 4. **W.H. Glenny, Sons & Co.** - Buffalo-based retailer offering Christmas gift suggestions The page also includes a book advertisement for "Famous Women of the French Court" and another for "How the Other Half Lives." There are **no political cartoons or satire** on this page. The illustrated vignettes are purely decorative elements accompanying period retail advertisements aimed at upper and middle-class readers.
