Boston-based Hub Gore Makers used an electric-powered talking model of Uncle Sam to extol the virtues of its product—a water-repellent, elastic cloth that attached to shoes to cover the ankles. Note the interest from the British “John Bull” and other foreign customers.

This striking Western Wheel Works catalog featured the company’s Crescent bicycle. Children’s bicycles sold for $25, a chain model for $35, and a bevel-gear chainless model for $60.

The North German Lloyd steamship company was founded in 1857. The following year it began weekly service from Bremen to New York, taking an average 11 days and 13 hours. By 1893 the company owned 80 ships, sailing to major ports on all continents.
