Scott's Emulsion marketed as children fertilizer booster
An old newspaper ad blends marketing copy with a city budget item. The text extols Scott’s Emulsion as “fertilizer” for children to make them grow in flesh mind and blood, then abruptly shifts to a formal 1902 city ordinance setting salaries for Bessemer officials with detailed monthly and annual pay. The ordinance authorizes salaries for mayor, aldermen, clerk, treasurer, attorney, surveyor, nightwatchmen, health officer, and more, noting the act takes effect after publication and includes mayor Wa. H. Knicutt’s approval.
