Advertising Wednesday's wk 2

Time to start a weekly something or other so why not some old time advertising?

This is from the back of a recipe my grandmother cut out who knows how long ago to save, I'm a little sad that it's just this one panel, but people didn't think that advertisements back then would be of any interest today. Makes you wonder what our kids or grand kids will think of advertisements from the magazines or newspapers we read today.

Oh and the reason I decided for Wednesday's to be the weekly doda is because the first ad I posted, the sewing machine one, was on a Wednesday. Tada!

This is where I got that nifty sewing machine images from. It's from a newspaper that came from Iowa possibly before the turn of the century. Back when they knew how to advertise!

The paper is really nice, it seems to have had some fabric added to the process before it was pressed because it has preserved far better then the newspapers from the thirties that were in the same box it came out of from up in the attic. Not bad for something well over a hundred years old.

Why it was saved I will never know, but I'm happy that it wasn't turned into food for the silver fish that seem to enjoy getting into every thing that they can.
