The advertisement promotes Great Western Champagne from the Pleasant Valley Wine Company, a producer in the Finger Lakes region of western New York. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American makers often used the word "champagne" for their domestic sparkling wines, a practice that drew complaints from French producers. Printed ads like this one carried a brand name and a claim of quality to grocers, hotels and saloons, so they show how wine was marketed as much as what was in the bottle.
