Page 6 was almost always filled with advertising, though news
might fill column 1. As throughout the Valley Spirit, ads were placed
by category rather than place of origin, though columns of
miscellaneous ads did appear. On February 1, while columns
5-6 were "miscellaneous" ads--for sewing machine companies in New
York and Baltimore, a steamboat service headquartered in Pittsburgh, a
furrier in Philadelphia, and others--ads also appeared in columns
2-4 under the categories "Saddlery, &c.," "Hardware," "Watches and
Jewelry," and "Agricultural."
Page 7 followed the same format as page 6. On February 1, page 7 carried ads under a number of headings, including "Professional Cards" (these were small inserts, mostly for local lawyers and doctors), "Hats & Caps," "Drugs, &c.," "Musical," "Ready-Made Clothing," "Stoves, Tinware, &c.," and "Medical."
