The Boston One Price Store in Zanesville, Ohio, is the subject of this color poster, which carries the name of H.H. Sturtevant and the words "Dry Goods!" The one-price system, which set a single fixed price on each item instead of bargaining, spread through American retailing in the later 1800s, and merchants like Sturtevant used bold color lithography to draw shoppers in. The date on the record is an uncertain estimate from an old caption card, and although the gallery files it under Boston, the store itself was in Ohio.
