Martell Cognac** - promoting French brandy as "fine old liqueur" 2. **Brewster & Co.** - advertising custom automobile and carriage bodies for wealthy clients 3. **Peerless Motor Car** - showcasing a 1908 limousine for "social and business conveyance" 4. **Johann Maria Farina Cologne** - promoting perfume with a free informational brochure The advertisements reflect the lifestyle and consumption patterns of affluent Americans in the early 20th century: imported luxury goods, custom automobiles, and personal grooming products.
