Advertisements promote twelve of the businesses depicted, including McClees & Germon who advertise "The increased width of
the street, occasioned by the recess formed by the Masonic Hall, (which is directly opposite) and a front almost entirely
of glass, give facilities for an operating room on the Second Floor, with a North light, (the most pleasant, effective and
certain of all others, where a sufficiency can be obtained,) possessed by no other establishment of the city…." Several of
the advertisements contain ornamented type and two contain illustrations depicting a man pointing (Warne’s) and a man’s shirt
(Ward’s Improved Pattern, Warranted to Fit).
