Knowles came back with the skin of a bear he claimed to have trapped in a pit, wore it through Boston's streets before one of the biggest crowds in the city's history. When jeering Hearstmen claimed to have found a bullet hole in the bearskin, Knowles went back to Maine, and in front...

Manhattan's James McCreery & Co. department store, advertising its "Silf-Skin girdle," depicted a buoyant, smiling young model clad in nothing but a girdle, a halter and an eyepatch...
