Here the subject is the railway's own presence in town: Northern Pacific ticket offices, each marked with the company's Yellowstone trade-mark. The mark tied the railroad's business to the park it promoted, which Congress had set aside as the first national park in 1872. Northern Pacific advertised Yellowstone heavily under its Wonderland name, and its trade-marks were meant to be recognized at a glance by travelers who had never seen the remote mountain landscape. The picture is worth a closer look for how it joins a commercial storefront and a distant wilderness, two things that rarely appear together.
