While doing my reptile room remodel, I found some interesting things in the ceiling when I tore it down. Most of which was old newspaper from 1939. This was very interesting to me, since my house is on record as being built in 1950... I have a feeling the city records are wrong. Not that it really matters. I did learn a few things, like world war 2 being called the european war before we entered it. Here were some highlights though if you find this stuff interesting.
1939
i guess this is 1939 clickbait
I wonder if this is what us reptile owners would be using
ad for a timeless movie
Land speed record back then.
I thought gas mileage was a recent issue....
How far a dollar went back then is hard to fathom now. I saw some ads for brand new houses that were under 10k
Cigarette ad, another thing of the past
European war aka WWII related stuff. Apparently Hitler assured us he was no threat to the US.
and then my grand find.... an old hat! I'll have to clean it up and have some fun wearing it.
