In the early 20th century, with the Second Industrial Revolution underway, Americans were faced with more leisure time which presented advertisers opportunities to profit by emphasizing how their products would improve life and more enjoyable.
The advent of the phonograph, introduced a never heretofore heard music to average Americans, was produced by such manufacturers like Thomas A. Edison, Inc. and Columbia Graphophone Company. Thomas Edison’s phonograph, created in the late 19th century, became a frequent advertisement seen in the weekly newspapers and magazines; over a 10 year span, as illustrated below, the Edison advertisement, to request a free catalog, appeared with variation in graphics, the use of color print and text.

The handheld Kodak camera, introduced by George Eastman in 1888, permitted people to take photographs of everyday activities. The mechanics with the photography moved away from glass plates previously used to Eastman’s camera which incorporated a chemical coated paper on a paper holder. Eastman was credited in marketing his product with advertisements targeting women since he considered them as family recorder marking special occasions within the family.
