Slide 53

Slide #53: To a nation of immigrants, appeals using ties to the mother country were a powerful marketing tool. This card was published to announce a series of Grand Irish Musical Festivals in New England, the Middle Atlantic States and the South. It was paid for by the proprietors of Irish Oil who, in their own self-interest, also proposed "Irish Medicines from all the World," and were not above including messages such as "Home Rule for Ireland" and " Irish Laws for Irishman."
