Mode of Advertising in Philadelphia, 1876. Creator: Unknown

Mode of Advertising in Philadelphia, 1876. The streets of Philadelphia, as of New York and other great American cities, offer to the stranger's eye not a little that is amusing and startling by its novelty and originality of invention. There is a method of advertising public entertainments, such as those of a theatre or equestrian circus, by sending a brass band, attired in the most imposing military style, to sound its advent through the town, along the side pavements, in a manner that would never be tolerated by the London police'. Signs read: The Grand American and European Circus Broad and Gallowhill Streets - Twenty Five Cents; Broadway Oyster House; Farrel & Co - Safes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
