1939 Archive Newspapers, Genuine Times Newspaper, Old newspapers

1939 Times Newspaper.
I've done it again. Guilty as charged. Instead of packing and posting customers birthdate and anniversary newspapers last week I couldn't resist the temptation to sit and read a particularly interesting November 1939 Times newspaper. Don't worry though, I still managed to post off that days orders on time, in fact despite having a really busy week nearly every order was dispatched same day as received which was excellent.
The newspaper in question was 3rd November 1939. This genuine, original, full and complete archive edition was absolutely fascinating. Some of the wartime headlines included Shelter Scheme Criticized, The Queen at Babies Hospital, Damage to Telephone Boxes and Soldiers Woolen Vests. I was reading real news headlines from real papers.
How about this for an advert: How to feel better and think cheerfully - A Doctors Advice - Guinness is good for you!
A couple of the crossword clues did catch me out: 21 across The stern calling of authorship, and 11 across Bird lacking knowledge. I cheated and looked up the answers in the following days Times ( 21a Grim, 11a Chic).
Finally I have got to tell you about just three of the many adverts. How about: Cotswold Residence, Rent £85 per annum, 5 beds, 2 rec.
27 Upper Berkeley St. W.1. Serviced rooms, H&C, 25/- inc. breakfast.
Overlooking Surrey Golf Course, 5 bed roomed house, £3850.
Just a snapshot of news and adverts from the 3.11.39 newspaper. I issued its Certificate of Authenticity and sent it on its way for someones birthday present but the good thing is that there are still 120 tons of other editions to choose from including those 1939's. They certainly make fantastic ideas for birth dates and anniversary gifts.
