An advertisement touts high quality lead free linseed oil bought direct from crushers with a $25 reward for any impurity. It promotes creosote stain, pink oil wood preservative, and pine oil contracts, claiming durability, wide use, and best prices. It invites inquiries and promises repainting if unsatisfied.
A Scottish migrant peddler named Ian McGregor shows clay models of Maggie the Highland lass, captivates locals, but is deemed mentally unwell. An alienist notes his fixation on Maggie, leading to hospital confinement and a revealing letter from the Power House detailing a miniature Highland coast and a Crag Carnival legend tied to his birth and identity.
