There are a bevy of print advertisements at the Society of California Pioneers. These are by no means all of them, but just some that I picked out to share. One is a a transit ad for Sutro Baths, though I don't know if it is for a trolley or a cable car. The other two are for the Emerson Minstrels. The second of those two is for the 50th Anniversary show in 1881 and was printed by a San Francisco printer, Francis Valentine & Co.
