"Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 434" by Various is a periodical publication written in the mid-19th century. This journal appears to be a collection of essays and commentaries, exploring various aspects of society, commerce, and culture in that era, with a particular emphasis on the dynamics of urban life in London. The opening portion sets the stage by discussing the overwhelming presence of marketing and commercialism—personified as 'Puff' and 'Push'—which invade daily life, reflecting societal trends and consumer behaviors of the time. The opening of the journal presents a vivid critique of London's commercial landscape, where advertising and marketing tactics have permeated every facet of life. Through a clever allegory involving two metaphorical creatures, Puff and Push, the text describes how commerce relentlessly seeks attention and manipulates public sentiment. It discusses the intricacies of public relations in the context of shopping and advertising, detailing how shopkeepers engage in increasingly exaggerated promotions to attract customers. By examining the lengths to which businesses go to generate interest, the journal highlights the absurdities and excesses of consumer culture in the mid-19th century.
