Edition and supplied-file locator checked. Ready for citing the qualified source account, not certification of its historical truth. PDF screens are explicitly distinguished from printed pagination. Absence in examined advertisements does not prove absence of the practice. Mash-tub treatment is not direct evidence of a barrel invention, and the author's categorical reused-wood color inference is unreliable.
