A playful exchange mocks street sellers and promotes Herrick Re frig erators. An ice man and Scotts Bros. are lampooned as rivals with a girl delivering a speech about “Git The Habit.” The ad mentions sewing machines 12.50 dollars kitchen cabinets 3 25 and Rex buggies 35 to 125 dollars.
Reasonable prices on every article. We guarantee satisfaction and will make it right. We buy more Rex buggies than any other customer in Indiana and lead in Rex buggy sales. Payment plans available with part down and balance by week, two weeks, or month. Old buggies traded in, horses accepted, cow peas at 1.60 per bushel, and second hand buggies offered at fair prices.
The piece blends a Cairo travelogue with reflections on Egypt's civilization and colonial power. It contrasts modern streets and bazaars with ancient tombs and temples, notes English influence and the Sultans, and elevates Egyptian history from pyramids to Karnack and Luxor while mentioning mummies and discoveries.
A catalog ad lists copper and nickel plated tea and coffee pots at low prices. Includes rugs, table linen, ladies' vests, ribbed pants, muslin skirts, sun bonnets, hats, umbrellas, ribbons and tooth picks with low sale prices and discounts.
