Burr McIntosh(1862-1942)

(1900?). At the turn of the century he published the magazine "The Burr McIntosh Monthly". Promoted as a magazine of cheerful wholesome philosophy, it was a calculatedly commercial proposition. The bulk of the publication consisted of pictures (usually beautiful women/actresses) and sentimental mottoes printed on heavy paper and suitable for framing- and the McIntosh company would sell you the framing supplies as well! The pictures were strictly moral, but managed to include a fair amount of exposed flesh in the way of arms, legs, and carefully draped breasts.
