A few years ago, we were replacing the bathroom floor in my Mom's house. The original floor had been put down many years before with the anticipated "indoor plumbing". When we took up the old boards we found several layers of newspaper underneath to help insulate the floor. I enjoyed looking through these worn and faded papers and decided to keep some. Recently I came across them when I was cleaning a closet.
Check out these styles and prices: ( THE YEAR WAS 1944)

What a fun find. A little piece of history...
Have a wonderful thanksgiving...
Those prices are really incredible. Such fun pieces to find and really see how things were progressing back then.
Real treasures.
Take care,

Wow....I would like to know the dates of the papers...how very interesting. It's funny tho, some styles remain timeless.
How neat. Do you have any idea of the date? Just look at those prices!!!!

It is so much fun when you find old things to link to your house--you should frame one of those and display it and write about how you found it!!
oh I'll take a couple twin matresses at that price! fun post.
I left you a little something at my blog today for being such a good inspiration for me!
What great pictures! The prices are unbelievable. What a fun treasure to find!

What fun! Wow, those are some great prices!!
Remember back in those days those prices were high. I remember in 1966 when I got my first pay check that my mother was appaled that I spent $6.00 on a wool skirt.
Lovely ads. They are something to cherish.
Blessings,

Those prices are just amazing aren't they???!!! I love looking at the old catalogs, someone gave me several that I have had for quite some time and the things are adorable and soooooo cheap! I guess inflation is alive and well!!
Wow! What a neat find! I love seeing the pictures and prices of old things!
