Don't Strike! Stop! Look! Listen! Just married, little Loyd Schuler and our darling Catherine.
May all the radiant hopes and fond, / In full be realized; / May happiness attend the bond, / That's just been solemnized. / Between / Two souls with but a single thought, / Two hearts that beat as one.
It is not necessary to give a description of them, as one glance at their radiant faces will disclose the fact that they are now one. Treat 'em well. God bless 'em. May they always be as happy as they are now and may they live in peace. God bless 'em again.

The 1893 edition of Boyd's Directory of Harrisburg and Steelton, p. 29, lists a "Hope Steam Fire Engine Co., No 2," in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with an address on "2d [Street] bet[ween] State and North," and I believe that this is the same "Hope Fire Co. No. 2" described here, with a fire house located at "Second and North Streets." The fire company itself no longer exists, but the "Hope Station" building was -- for a time -- the Fire House Restaurant.
"Bazaar and fair, Hope Fire Co. No. 2, March 18 to 25 inclusive. We cordially invite you, your family, and friends to attend this bazaar and fair, which will be held in the parlor of fire house, Second and North Streets. Something doing every minute. Donations of cakes and candies will be appreciated. Admission free, everyone welcome. Raysor, printer."

This broadside is a nineteenth-century advertisement for a sale at a store in Rochester, New York. I found a passing reference to "the Brennan store" at "36 State street" in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, October 15, 1875, page 4.
Heavy Failure
The entire stock of dry goods formerly owned by G. V. De Forrest, Cleveland, Ohio, and sold in bankruptcy, is now offered at the Brennan Store, 36 State St., at much below regular prices!

A nineteenth-century broadside advertisement for Theodore Trickel's new shoe store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Opened!
Theodore Trickel.
New Shoe Store,
1520 South 63d Street.
Unfurl the [flag] and spread the news,
Theo. Trickel repairs all kinds of shoes,
Men's, women's, and misses' repaired very neat
At 1520 South 63d Street.
Shoes repaired from the best of leather
And warranted to keep out the weather,
Half soleing and heeling done with care,
Of your patronage he asks a share.
Invisible patches put on quite neat
That cannot be seen upon the feet,
All the work that is done by me,
Will give satisfaction I guarantee.
The public all should keep in view
Shoes repaired to look like new,
Don't forget to give me a call
Shoes repaired, large or small.
Custom Work a Specialty
Repairing neatly done and promptly attended to.
Ready-made shoes in stock for men, women, and children at the lowest prices.
