What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising content** from a San Francisco publication (The Wasp), featuring commercial advertisements for local businesses circa the 1860s. There is one small cartoon in the lower left corner advertising Napa Soda. The cartoon shows a figure drinking from a barrel labeled "NAPA SODA" with text reading "WE'RE OUT ALL NIGHT TILL BROAD DAYLIGHT" and "BUT WE DRINK NAPA SODA IN THE MORNING." This appears to be a humorous advertisement suggesting the soda's restorative properties after a night out—likely implying hangover relief, though the exact claim is unclear. The remainder consists of commercial advertisements for furniture, banking, hotels, and retail goods, with no apparent satirical or political content.
