Campbell defends the device as a legitimate indicator amid inquiries in Washington, Chicago, and Detroit.

A Belligerent Philadelphia Mother Seeks Odd Baby Carriage
A Philadelphia woman hunted Chestnut and Market for an extraordinary baby carriage with every invented feature. A Bland factory proprietor pitched a supposed Jones soother with a talking tube and self feeding bottle. The woman rejected the notion, flounced away, and boarded an Eighth Street car for Girard Avenue. A Baltimore woman later found a living frog in a bottle of chow chow, too large to pass the bottle neck.
