William Scott of Pittsburgh, Carnegie's lawyer in the Frick Carnegie dispute, faced a question too far as reports claim the two rivals consulted the same firm before splitting.

An old advertisement fragment touts Palmer's Lotion as a universal cure for pimples, tetter, rashes, and mucous membrane diseases with an offer to mail a free pamphlet. It promotes a world of specials from Colorado train trips and a quiz about a lost water bottle, reflecting scattered 19th century ad copy.
A vintage promotional fragment touts Nebraska as a land of plenty with grain fruit cattle and hogs. It invites readers to request The Corn Belt and The West Nebraska Grazing Country, mentions cheap excursion tickets and notes monthly tours by train with contact initials and publishers in Chicago and楽し.
A garbled collage of quotations and advertising blurbs appears, citing children, doctors, and various products.
