I read the text twice and now feel fit to publish the five terms I identified reflect the main ideas. 

Nr. 1: "bourgeois fantasy world" (p 19 §2)

Nr. 2:"culture of abundance" (p.22 §2)

Nr. 3: "advertising as integral to the city beautiful" (p 26 §3)

Nr. 4:"object of immense local interest" (p.29 §2)

Nr. 5:"(...) museums helped sustain the ideology of imperial abundance"(p.31§3)

For chapter two, the headline in its from our perspective quaint terminology sums it all up.
