The 11-January-1894 Scranton Tribune carried a series of teasers about A Study in Scarlet, the first Sherlock Holmes novel.
"A Study in Scarlet" appeared between several items on page three.
There was a larger item toward the bottom of the page.
This item appeared on page four. "Once you begin it, you will grow feverish for the end, and await the sequel with impatience kindled by delicious uncertainty."
"A Study in Scarlet" appeared again between several items on page five.
"It's queer, but people all over town are beginning to ask each other what there is in 'A Study in Scarlet.'"
"A Study in Scarlet" appeared again between several items on page six.
More next month in this blog.
