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.
