Look What I Found In A July 1940 Times Newspaper!

Whenever I'm down in the Papers Past's Back Dated Newspaper Archive I always keep my eye open for interesting news reports and amazing old adverts. Just the other day when I was working with the July 1940 Newspapers I came accross this great old advert for Oxo.

"A Really Popular and Refreshing Beverage - A comfort in the Shelter"

Its great to see these old 1940 newspaper adverts - its gives you a real feeling of what life was like 70 years ago. I've never tried hot Oxo as a drink before but I reckon back in 1940 during a long stint in a small airaid shelter it would be a huge comfort.

Remember, Papers Past's 1940 back issue newspapers are not reprints but actual newspaper's from 1940 full, complete and totally original. A 1940 Newspaper Gift makes the perfect Birthday present who is celebrating their 70th Birthday in 2010. So what are you waiting for, make yourself a cup of hot Oxo and toast the fact that your Gift Buying Problems are now Solved with a Birthday Newspaper Gift from Papers Past.

Looking down on Wimbledon - Photo's from a Times 1960 Newspaper

Currently Wimbledon is serving up a whole lot of excitement, I don't think that I will ever forget the longest tennis match, pure sporting gold. With Wimbledon on the mind I was working down in the 1960 Newspaper Archive and came across this great view of all the courts back in 1960.

Papers Past's Birthday Newspaper's are full of great sporting pictures like this one. Our 1960 Newspapers are selling really well for 50th Birthday presents. An original 1960 Newspaper Gift is full of great news and events that happened on that special date. So why not make a present of the past with a 1960 Back Issue Newspaper
