One of my favorite parts of research is searching through old papers for obituaries. I often get sidetracked by all of the old ads and articles.
Some things never change. We’ve always had ridiculous ads for medicines and cure-alls.
This one cracks me up. I love how they make the leap from mail carriers flying to their medicine. Hmm.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who is easily amused and gets sidetracked while doing research. I started a recurring theme on my blog I call Sunday Serendipity where I post these types of items. Maybe I should suggest it as a them to Geneabloggers.
