These magazines are likely to include advertisements which may  be discovered by browsing. Many of the magazines from the 19th century are in microfilm (on the Seattle campus in the Microform and Newspaper Collections on the ground floor of Suzzallo) or are part of the American Periodical Series Online .  Many 20th century magazines are available in print and may be requested through the UW Libraries Catalog.  Keep in mind that illustrated advertisements did not appear until the latter half of the 19th century.
