There goes my theory that Holmes to Homes were a modern fantasy piece. Damn.

Thanks Patrick. That was the second ad for the set, I believe, and it followed opening day when Milan did homer just as the ad states. Here's the ad from April 12, 1916:

In case it's not already apparent, Holmes Bakery was located in Washington, DC. There is a bit of info about Holmes in this piece:
