An advertisement naming Joseph Paquin and the firm Bertholle et Cie places two men in suits at its center, so the clothing itself is the selling point. Tailors' advertisements of this kind were common when ready-made clothing was spreading but custom work still carried prestige, and merchants relied on well-dressed figures to suggest fit, fashion and respectability. Look closely at the cut of the jackets, the collars and the poses, which show how men's dress was presented to customers as a sign of standing. The record says little more about the firm, so its location and dates are best confirmed in local trade directories.
