What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not satire or political commentary. It contains multiple commercial advertisements from late 19th or early 20th-century New York businesses: - **Whiting M'fg Co.** advertises solid silver goods and flatware, emphasizing quality and their "Sterling" trademark - **Hilton, Houckes & Co.** promotes dress goods and groceries with competitive pricing - **James McCreery & Co.** sells summer blankets and traveling rugs at reduced prices - **Stern Bros.** announces their ladies' tailoring department for custom garments The only non-commercial image is the **Massachusetts Naval Brigade Trophy** at top left—a decorative silver vessel designed by Whiting M'fg Co., featuring an eagle and ornamental handles. This appears to be product showcase rather than satirical content.

That we can make such little prices on first-class goods comes about in the most natural way. We are taking very large quantities —that counts; the importers and manufacturers are anxious to do business with us—that counts. It isn’t a matter of sacrifice or any- body's ruin—just a straightforward, legitimate business, at a gait that we can keep up. We shall not be satisfied until every part of the store is in harmony, and on the highest level. DRESS GOODS A storm of styles, a wilderness of weaves. a wonder spread of all that is new and charming in woven stuffs. That's the sort of a Dress Goods store we keep. A good share of the women hereabout know it. We mean that they shall all know it. HIGH-GRADE BICYCLES, $60 Bicycles that sell to-day at $0 or more If you knew their birth-right name you'd know how good they are, almost any wheelman would know, It’s part of the deal not to give that name--but to give you $30 instead—g0 Wheels at $60; for women, $65. GROCERIES Quality first. “There's no other way to build a great Grocery business. No matter how little the price, if the thing is mean you don’t want it.
