Interesting to see what is not there. I am surprised to see nothing from Remington, who was a fairly prolific advertiser.

And I’d be surprised to see anything from W.R. Case & Sons, who rarely if ever advertised since their business model was “shoe leather” expended by their well-traveled sales force, carrying samples and taking orders.

I still have five months of issues to look through.
There are also "tons" of ads for safety razors and straight razors.
I will eventually get to them.

It is interesting that there were so many manufacturers of pocket knives.
I especially like the ads that state "Made in the United States of America"-
you don't see that too often anymore
