theducksMom's going through some old newspaper clippings she got from reletives.. on the back of one of them is an advert for some tea. Looking at it 50 years later, it's hillarious to see what constituted effective advertising back then. Also of note, in 1947, we seemed to use American spelling. Weird.
Photoshopping note: Making newspaper scans pretty is easy. You scan at high res, in grayscale, then adjust brightness and contrast in photoshop both by about +40, which gives a nice black and white drawing. Then clean up any big blemishes in the scan, then scale down, and hey presto, nice scan ;)
