Advertisement: New York Herald, 28 October 1865.

“This establishment does advertise in the New York Herald. . . . Harding, the musical blacksmith; Fred May, the Mileslan; King, the Dry Dock Pet, and Vandermark, the Bashful Youth; Levi, the great cornet player, will be there (if he likes).  Songs, glees, choruses, and jovial conviviality the order of the night.”

COMMENT: Ad satirizes all of the current advertisements that say: This establishment does not advertise in the New York Herald.
