The Swanson Car dealership was looking for a new slogan, so they asked the public for help.
First prize in 1940 was $25 cash!
They were located at 115 N. Market St., Danville, Virginia.
I tried to find them on social media with no luck.
Great image of their dealership.
The history of nation is so amazing. I am passionate about preserving as much of it as I can. I hope I can inspire others to find an era, style, or area of interest. Dive deep and possibly incorporate a tiny snippet of that history into your modern life.

1958 Ad: Hi Ho Crackers
This ad depicts life in 1958.
Yes, ladies cleaned house & cooked in dresses. Most ladies magazines encouraged them to "look good for husband when he got home from work".
When I was young, in the early '60s, girls still wore dresses to school. I protested in first grade and my mom made some slacks for me to wear. I was a tomboy.
The struggle was real with the cord telephone. Waiting your turn to use the phone. Party lines in rural areas. Worrying that the boy you liked was going to try to call and get a busy signal because a sibling was on the phone. Good times.

1944 Greenville, SC Local Soldiers serving during WWII
I am hand transcribing this information in the hopes of getting this one page of newspaper into the hands of a family member of one of the people mentioned in this article. This is the second of four columns. Time only allows so much typing per day.
It was published June 6, 1944 in THE GREENVILLE PIEDMONT newspaper (Greenville, SC). These are soldiers that served during WWII. Thank you for your service.
My end goal is to get this page of the paper into the hands of a relative of someone mentioned OR maybe if a business still exists that is advertised....get it to the owners. It's only 1 page, so I can only get it to one person. But my wish is that the paper will be treasured and preserved.
The page in which all this information is included is also the front page of the paper.
This is a small scan of part of the front page

LEAKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
This is the fun part of being a 'collector'.
I have spent years rescuing a variety of items that others consider junk or trash. Doing the research on these artifacts is so much fun.
It often provides fun and interesting history.
I just wanted to share something I found when digging around in some papers I acquired many years ago at an estate sale, then stashed away.
There were a little stack of postmarked envelopes, most postmarked from North Carolina. There was one in particular that caught my attention. I travel quite a bit on weekends for leisure and I'm fairly familiar with even the small towns in my state. This little town represented on the postmark was totally unfamiliar to me.
So, off to google it. What I found was a little town that ceased to be in the mid 1960s.
I found this cool website that has information about this little township as well as a visitor register where people are sharing memories of this town. Here is a link to the site:
LEAKSVILLE website
Something else I found amusing was the 'return address'. It simply reads that if the addressee doesn't claim within 5 days, return to sender. Also, take note that there is nothing more than the name, city, and state. Wow. Can you imagine how small the area must have been?
I know this is a short post, but thought it was worth sharing.

March 5, 1946 Russian Spy Ring Newspaper article
With the internet behind their wings, I guess they are just upping their game these days...but as this article details, we have had issues with Russia for decades.
This article is from my personal collection of vintage newspapers & clippings. This was in the Tuesday, march 5, 1946 edition of the Detroit Free Press. Front Page.
Nicolai Zabotin appears to be the ring leader.

1954 Army Navy Football Game Program
I have been fortunate enough to acquire a full magazine program from the 1954 (actually, I got 2 of them).
My hope is that it will end up in the hands of someone that is friends or relatives of one of these great men.
In order to hopefully reach as many friends or relatives as possible, I took the time to actually type every single players name...as well as every man whose photo appears in the magazines.
So, although it's a great piece of history for children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren of some of these people...it has some great ads too. I have those outlined as well. Pepsi, Coke, and those ICONIC cars~! I documented every page!
Here are a few pictures from the program magazine and below the pictures are the names and details of all the advertisements. Please share so we can reach as many as possible.
