A comparison of the 1902 and 1912 Sears and Roebuck catalogs. You can see clearly what an impact Hohner's establishing its U.S. office in New York(in 1901) had when you compare. There's also a page there from the 1877 Macy's catalog that's the earliest reference to a harmonica in a mail-order catalog I've seen. Also a very interesting, modern looking Hohner chromatic in the 1912 catalog.
