1888 Advertisement for Ambrose Knapp Horn Blowing

Ambrose Knapp has some business news to share this holiday season. A new partnership has been formed between Knapp and Santa Claus.

The text says that “they expect by their joint efforts to give everybody a good time,” and warn us “Do not let anyone deceive you into believing that Santa Claus is in any way invested in any other stock or store.”

I like the artwork in this ad. The horn player’s ears are almost as big as the bell of his horn.
