As for ads, recently I found one of William d'Fleurville's "poetry" advertisements for his Barber's Shop, that appeared in the Sangamo Journal of May 10, 1832. It's on page 7 here: http://www.yumpu.com/en/mobile/view/12032623

Eva, IMO I think it's more legend than fact, but maybe there is proof I have not seen. There is a book on Lincoln's barber - it's titled Billy the Barber’s Mirror: Reflecting on an Untold Lincoln Story and is written by Glennette Tilley Turner - but I do not know if it's been published yet.
