Anti-ad, 8 June 1895

Messrs McIntyre & Co, dressmakers of 37, 39 & 41 Nicolson St really, really did not approve of J&R Allan, of Nos 80-86 South Bridge, sellers of dresses but also of cloth, costumes, beds, vases, fire screens........

In particular, they did not approve of the 'jingle advertisements' of the 'general drapers'.

A newspaper used as underlay in a house my mother-in-law bought at one point.
