During my literature search in the engineering and shipping magazines, I came across adverts advertising company's products associated with the Olympic class ships; it would seem that, like today, companies thought that associating with the largest and most publicised "product" would guarantee good prestige. It's a double edged sword though! After the Titanic disaster, not one advert was seen in which the name of the doomed ship appeared!
Note: I am unfamiliar with many of the companies that provided fittings to the "Olympics", (unless it was a well known name like Hingley's, Welin etc.), so unless the advert explicitly mentioned "Olympic" and/or "Titanic", I omitted taking a picture of them.
Unfortunately many of the images suffer from distortion due to the nearby presence of a very tightly bound spine; it is hoped that a suitable software tool may be able to remove much of this distortion.

Another advert for Ross-Schofield circulators. This advert is pre-disaster; in the issues of the magazine

Yet another advert for Waygood Lifts; a close-up of the elevator carriage is to the right. This advert is from after the Titanic sinking, so obviously there is no mention of the doomed liner!
