1898 Advertising Bike Commerce Mail Order
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the year 1898. The image showcases an American newspaper advertisement for Sears, Roebuck & Co. , a prominent company of that era. The focus of this ad is none other than the beloved bicycle. Intriguingly, this vintage advertisement promises potential customers a bicycle delivery upon receipt of a mere one-dollar down payment. This offer undoubtedly captured the attention and imagination of many Americans at the time, as bicycles were becoming increasingly popular modes of transportation and leisure. The text in this ad reflects both its simplicity and effectiveness in conveying information about this exciting opportunity. It serves as a reminder of how commerce operated during those times when mail order was gaining momentum across America. This historical artifact not only offers insight into advertising techniques from over a century ago but also provides us with glimpses into daily life during that period. It reminds us how far we have come in terms of technology and consumerism since then. As we admire this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let it transport us back to an era where bicycles symbolized freedom, adventure, and progress - all encapsulated within one dollar's worth of promise.
