Product advertisements in
Altemus books are basically unheard of. Leinbach & Bro
advertised its clothing store but that was in books that Leinbach gave
away.
See: http://henryaltemus.com/ephemera/leinbach.htm.
Here is the only example that I know of a product advertisement in an
Altemus book. It is bound into the extremely rare 1895 Altemus edition
of Baby's Requirements by Elisabeth Robinson Scovil. The book which is
6.25 x 4.5 has a limp leatherette binding.
As you can see, here is an ad for Ivory Soap. It is placed in the back
of the book and there are no other ads present. I cannot explain why
this ad is in this book.
There is a chapter on bathing infants in the book but it does not
mention Ivory Soap.
