It is hot outside. Stay inside and have a browse the NC Digital Collections online?
Why not start with this State Fair information book from 1899? There are some beautiful advertising graphics inside, as well as great historical context for Wake County and the rest of the state at the time. You can page through this volume much like browsing a physical book.
Don't miss the ads for Briggs Hardware, Raleigh Cotton Mills, St Mary's School, Southern Railway, and a host of others less well known that we surely need to keep in our memory. Fun!
