Sloane & Co.** (San Francisco) - advertising furniture, carpetings, upholstery, and window shades 3. **Schmidt Label & Lithographic Co.** (San Francisco) - a printing/lithography business with a striking burst-pattern logo 4. **The Marchal & Smith Piano Company** (New York) - selling pianos ($150-$1500) and organs ($75-$500) The "WASP" masthead appears at top, but this particular page serves as a vehicle for commercial advertisements rather than political or social satire. No identifiable caricatures or satirical commentary are present.
