The first, a cigarette-making machine introduced in the 1880s, dramatically increased production; instead of producing some 40,000 hand-rolled cigarettes a day, a company with one of these machines could produce 4 million cigarettes daily. The second development came in the late 1870s with the invention of color lithography, which revolutionized advertising and packaging and helped developing brands strengthen their identities. Using this new technology, companies began including small cigarette cards in every box as premiums. These collectible trading cards depicted movie stars, famous athletes...

(At 6 megawatts, it was tiny compared with the current proposals, one of which has a 177-megawatt capacity.) The project faced similar gripes then. "Everyone complained about them for two weeks, and then everyone forgot," Twisselman says. "And they were what you might say unsightly. You could...
...already saturated in a visual culture—a culture that enticed consumption on every street corner and was epitomized, interestingly enough, by the urban department store window. The department store window, as we know it today, was a modern innovation. While the makeshift window displays before the mid-1880s consisted of products casually strewn on top of boxes and crates, the department store windows of the 1920s experimented with novel techniques of color, glass, and light to amplify the allure of a product, ultimately trying to increase shoppers’ superfluous desires.
