Advertisements promote, through several lines of text, the depicted Moulson establishments, as well as H.G. Sickels’ Lamp
Manufactory and Gas Fitting Establishment, No. 32 North Second Street, Philadelphia. Moulson’s Daguerreotype Establishment
advertises the type of equipment (Voightlander cameras) used; the inconsequence of weather conditions; price – "Fifty Cents
Only, is now Charged, for a Beautiful, Durable, and Life-like Portrait"; and John Moulson’s evidence of his "merit" to perfectly
satisfy his customers through his extensive experience formerly at Chestnut and Eighth Street and his recent improved process.
Moulson’s Millinery advertisement promotes Mrs. Moulson’s "ability to purchase of Importers, at wholesale and for cash" and
“will not be undersold by any establishment in the city or country." Sickels’ advertisement contains a border of several different
models of lamps and fixtures, including ceiling, standing, and decorative.
