The Influences Of Advertising During The Industrial Revolution

Advertising during the Industrial Revolution was one major aspect that influenced America. The “Nabisco” company for example, produced their biscuits in a new sealed package. Nabisco’s firsts ads featured a young boy wearing a rain jacket carrying a box of waterproof packaged biscuits through the rain. Consumer foods and products became popular making business grow larger. Aaron Montgomery Ward’s catalogue business influenced Richard W. Sears to increase the number of pages the Sears Roebuck originally began with. The more company ads produced, the more consumers view and buy products. Technological innovations and transportation innovations during the late eighteen hundreds also made advertising more viewable to consumers.
Technological developments
Workers would be hired for low pay and would perform the same work every single day. Some factories doubtingly ignored child labor laws by the end of the 1800’s. I feel that sweatshop managers were in demand for labor workers of any age as long as their products were produced correctly. The Triangle Shirtwaist Company fire is an example of how the urban setting of a populated sweatshop can lead to disaster. In 1911, the owners of a Manhattan garment factory locked its exits and stairwells to prevent workers to take unauthorized breaks. Somehow a fire inflamed the factory leaving 146 workers dead because there was no escape
Sometimes native-born Americans saw immigrants as a threat to their job. They couldn’t really survive long months of idleness, so they only visited to work and travel back home. While social tensions arose between managers and immigrant employees, on the other hand, some newcomers helped transform the American society and culture. More than 70 percent of immigrants entered through New York City, which later came to be known as the “Golden Door.” In 1892, a new immigration-processing center was opened on Ellis Island in New York harbor.

African Americans during the late 1800’s were barred from most industrial workplaces and unions. Factories needed labor, but managers felt white workers would refuse to work around blacks. Even the most popular employers such as garment and clothing industries would never blacks. The opportunities they had were slim. Some never earned money or property of their own. They couldn’t vote or go anywhere the white men were allowed to go.
Innovators are a group of inventors that shaped the US culture by the early 1900s. When Charles Goodyear labeled the process for the vulcanization of rubber, John Dunlop brought the inflatable tire to the market. Rubber was one of the main uses for bicycles and helped the transportation of consumers in the US, thus later leading to the invention of the
