Address: Broadway, 22nd Street, New York. 2. **Usher's Whisky** (top right): Shows men in formal attire with the slogan "They're all on the Favourite," advertising their Special Reserve whisky. 3. **Life Publishing Company** (bottom): Promotes a catalogue of 163 reproducible pictures available for 10 cents, featuring sample images like "His Worse and Better Self" and "An Antique Sofa."
