About advertising:

“From the last half of the 19th century through most of the20th century, blacks were prominent in ads, posters, and productlabels, hawking everything from cereal, flour, coffee, and a vast assortment offood products to spark plugs, motor oil, writing paper, and whiskey. Old printads provide startling revelations of white America’s complex fears, myths,prejudice, and perceptions of blacks. By far the most prevalent images depictblacks in service as butlers, maids, cooks, porters, and ‘mammies.’ [excerptedfrom Art & History of Black Memorabilia].
