Newspaper advertisement for Underwood's Sardines, featuring a drawing of a long-taloned, pointy-eared and pointy-tailed horned devil standing in front of a tin of sardines, with the slogan "Taste the Taste" over one of his outstretched arms. Beneath, the headline is "Underwood's / The Greatest Sardines in the world / for 10 to 15 cents." There's more copy from the makers of Underwood Deviled Ham, William Underwood Co. of Boston.
in 1921, this Nosferatu-adjacent creature was meant to entice you to buy sardines. Presumably.

Old 1913 newspaper advertisement that reads: If you cannot think of anything else let us show you a knife. For boys, girls, ladies and men. Prices 25c to $5.00. Clark Witbeck Co. Community Silver Headquarters
"Let us show you a knife" really didn't take off as a marketing catchphrase. Let's bring it back.

Headline from the 1920s that reads "Seek Treasure in Pyramid 5,000 Yrs. Old," datelined from Cairo, Egypt, June 4 – I forgot to note the year, probably 1923 – "An Egyptian archaeologist belived today that he may find the crown jewels of ancient Egypt when he opens the newly-found tomb of a Pharoah who has been dead about 5,000 years."
This probably didn't end well...

An article from the Troy NY Daily Whig, July 1870: "That's a very probable story which the London Telegraph prints that Napoleon confessed to its correspondent he should be obliged to lead France to war to save the reins of power from slipping out of his hands. The Emperor doubtless feels all this, but he isn't such a fool as to say so."
July 1870: Just a couple of months before wildly miscalculating what turned into the Franco-Prussian war. Presented for no particular reason.

Picture of a newsstand vendor in a winter cap with ear flaps up, horn-rimmed glasses, a winter coat and an apron with a faded "Newsweek" logo, looking at the camera and holding up a copy of a newspaper, the Syracuse Herald-Journal (afternoon paper). Behind him is Syracuse's main downtown street.
When I took this – or even ten years ago, for that matter – I could not have imagined that city newsstands would almost completely disappear someday. This is from November 1979, in downtown #SyracuseNY. His name was Pete Mussi, and he was a fixture there for […]

A 1927 classified ad reading: MAN . R—U—THE MAN? SAY. FELLOWS, YOU CLAIM TO BE LOOKING A GENUINE POSITION AND HAVE SAID WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH ONE. NOW.

Hey, turns out employment ad scams are nothing new. Here's a beauty from 1927 that I'm absolutely certain was a totally legitimate opportunity and probably neither murder nor multi-level marketing:

Victorian newspaper cutting giving place and time of a funeral and saying that the 2.20 train from Lime Street will stop at Halebank for the convenience of friends wishing to attend.
The days when you could arrange for a train to stop specially for those attending a funeral. The joys of #oldnewspapers.
