Just found an old news paper

I find this old stuff fascinating. I don't know where it is right now, but I have a 1920s book of etiquette sitting around...

Very cool. Thanks for the scans.

I have an old army field manual from 1943. It is kind of fun to go through.

Does it really have directions for making a sticky bomb?

If you ever what to get rid of it I'm sure the local library would be happy to take it.

Just pulled it out and it is actually from 1941.

I don't see sticky bomb in the index, but I haven't read it cover to cover so I'm not sure.

Cool. Too bad there isn't anything too interesting. Otherwise you could frame it and hang it up.

Do you know why it got saved?

the article about Joe Louis being kidnapped/blackmailed was pretty cool.

I liked this household tip you'd never see today - "If windows stick after house has been painted, brush over inside of window frame with black lead." If the paint didn't put enough lead in the house, you can always add more!

:laugh:

The movie astrologer predicted that Japan and Russia would go to war in 1936. Nice.

Ahhh, so much nicer times back then.

1/4 cup of butter or bacon fat

These days they would use some low fat no flavor ingredient.

I wonder how much laptops cost in 1935.

 

[BriGy86]

I'd post more but a lot of it is the wards ad and stock information

Antique laptop

 

[TehMac]

Likewise, antique keyboard

Probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen, and I want to build one nao.

I like the "casually oberserved" bit in this photo

"In the days when men were tough, father did not go to bed when he got a cold. He went to work as usual and got pneumonia and died"

Even back then the previous generation were stronger.

They used to call graphite black lead back then. It's not real lead.

It's interesting what Montgomery Wards sold back then. Now, it's non-existent. Sears and Wards were the big players back then.

My old office was a 2 story Sears house built in 1919. It had chestnut throughout, including pocket doors, and was very solidly built. Cool house, and better than anything you could get today in it's modern comparable class.

Glad to see the company I work for has an ad in that paper!
