General Riggs has graciously consented to allow any Union officer who feels compelled to renew a prewar acquaintance to cross over under a flag-of-truce to attend the CSA Christmas Command Ball as in previous years when the exact location is announced and provided that CSA authorities will allow the doors to be opened to such. As a sign of consideration and freely given in the spirit of cooperation he has also cleared the way for northern concerns to also offer their individual sponsorship to the upcoming gala. Among the early respondees are the following:
From Chicago: Nutley and Sons, Providers of Walking Lubricators and Therapeutic Papers - "Wipe On, Wipe Off!"
Shyster's Supplies & Mercantile - "Used Goods and Old Medicines"
Madame Fleming's Pleasant Associations
From Cincinnati: Old Blue Light Beer - "Like Nothing On Earth!"
Studebaker's Wagons - "Where the iron meets the road!"
Madame Fleming's Pleasant Associations
From Sarasota: Colonel Albright's Bar-B-Q Sauce - "Especially formulated to bring out the flavor in three-day-old meats"
Madame Fleming's Pleasant Associations
From Philadelphia: Wild Bill Brasher's Gymnasium for Corpulent Men - "One Roll At A Time"
Carrington's Hot Tubs - "Derelict Sailing Vessels at Cut Rate Prices"
Costicant's Expectoration Academy . . . where gentlemen learn the art of graceful hacking and launching, with a special class being offered on the secrets of successful, spittoon, rim shots.
Madame Fleming's Whippery
