Introduction

While researching posts for the website we often stop to read the newspaper adverts. Some are curious to modern eyes, others untrustworthy and many are funny. Even more amazing to see that some of the products and advertisers exist to this day.

This selection from 1899 – 1920 provides a typical range of adverts over 100 years ago. The adverts are shown without comment.
