For today's
Daily Blogging Prompt at
Geneabloggers, I decided to do something different. I was over at Chronicling America looking for the birth of my grandmother in the Vital Record's section of the newspapers. She was born 31 Mar 1917. It was then that I decided to see if there were any advertisements, and there were for lots of things. With Easter around the corner at the time, I decided to go with clothing. I'm trying to imagine my great grandmother wearing dresses and hats like this.

By today's cost of things, these sure seem really cheap, then I remember how much they probably made and it all balances out. But I love looking at the ads also.
