Archival Evidence

''The Dial'''s advertisements reveal multicultural intrigue, albeit, from a safe distance.  In the supplementary section of advertisements there is evidence of a great deal of upper-class marketing.  Solicitors invite readers to Oriental rug wholesalers, jewelry dealers, Russian tea rooms, Spanish themed vacations, patronage to The Plaza hotel in New York and Boston, and to purchase multi-volume literary collections from such venerated authors as Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad (''The Dial'' XVI-XXXII).  Though the advertisements do suggest a post-war fascination with the exotic, they also implicate intellectual and societal elitism.  One may inquire whether the "worldly" audience could have included the minorities it so fancifully publicized.
