Advertising a Small Town Vol 1 & 2

$25.00

Advertising a Small Town is a book about just that. From the very beginning, even before the town was organized, we can visualize the time period by reading the advertising. These ads help us better understand the struggles and successes simply by seeing what tools and supplies were needed, what kind of stores were necessary, and the priorities that they established. Was life really simpler? Were there less distractions? Were they not as busy? Very few comparisons can be made between the 19th and 21st centuries. Life was very different. And yet, there is so much to be learned from the early settlers in their purpose and resolve. Often, their determination, dedication, and devotion will, or should, put us to shame. Life has changed from physical to technological. Improvement? Let the reader be the judge.
