Interesting Old Print Ads.

I thought some of you might enjoy looking at some old print ads.

Surbrug's (1892)

Edgeworth (1931)

Prince Albert (1936)

A little confusing. The Surbrug's is from 1892, Edgeworth 1931, Prince Albert 1936.

Very cool. (as in not biting the tongue or throat). Thanks for sharing!

126 years later, all blends/blenders make the same claim: no bite. Uh-huh.

Interestingly, I Google mapped the address listed in that Edgeworth ad. It looks like the original factory is still there, albeit turned into condos. The Edgeworth name is still printed on the chimney though!

Gosh, 15 cents for a pack of pipe tobacco. Oh boy...
