Well, the early 1900s wasn't exactly an utopian golden age where people were not interested about stuff like sales revenue. Do especially 'beautiful' items really entice children better compared to, well, maybe bit worn but in good condition and definitely not broken or dirty items, or utilitarian mechanical things that are in prime condition but designed the function, not looks, in mind? I mean, many children are absolutely enticed by garbage trucks and tractors and stuff like that.
