It didn't look like it was printed initially so was ignored. However, the ad refers to the son assuming collections for the father. The appearance of the two names suggests they are both signing their names to the ad. The son stating he is taking over and the father adding his approval. Maybe the typesetter made up his own type face or used a damaged one. Guess it can't be resolved And since you can now see both ads, it means your problem is how your browser accepts the graphic, not the link. The original graphic was labeled TrowOct11_1871_orig.jpg and I changed it to Trow.jpg. Appears whatever you are using will not accept graphics file names with underlines included.

The creditor's representative (son of Trow) states his availability for business, during his father's absence, above the creditor's (Trow) definite request for payment. The handwritten mark may include a lower case i or j, but I can't make up anything useful, English or German.
