As if I don't have enough to do, with all of my other blogs. However, I have always collected clip art because I was always doing something of a newsletter whether for Scouts or for family, for which I felt the need for some illustrations. Since I am NOT an artist, I collected illustrations.
The ones I share are mostly advertisements from old newspapers. I clip them from newspapers.com as I find them during my genealogical and historical researches. I have a ton of them. So, I will share them with you, maybe on a regular schedule, maybe not.
Life is a four-letter word that gets in the way of my best laid plans. Plans of Mice and Men ... and Gramma Nettie!
Enjoy. Feel free to use them, but I would love it if you pinged back to me, or otherwise give me credit. Thank you
The following are from the Anaconda Standard, Anaconda Montana, 1906
 |
| This image is from a large, quarter page advertisement for men's clothing Bowler Hat Overcoat Spats Cane The look you give when you find a Turkey sitting next to you |
 |
| An advertisement for a collar the men wore. This is apparently a quarter of the usual size. They were typically heavily starched, and were separate from the rest of the shirt. |
 |
| At first, I thought this was an ad for apples, since according to Dictionary.com, they were called Pippins at that time. But you look closer, to find it is a cigar! The Greatest Cigar on Earth! The Perfect Fruit! Perfect bait amd switch |
