    Old Advertisements

    I'm looking for old advertisments and was wondering if anyone on here might have some old magazines or catalogs they could look through to see if there is anything I can use. I'm working on a coffee table book to be published as part of the Centennial.

    Specifically, I am looking for ads from 1900s-1980s that sell things you might use around the house for entertainment, cooking, cleaning, furnishings, etc.

    I've been to the library but most of the old stuff is microfilmed which means bad quality.

    I know we have some hillbilly packrats here who can help me.

    Would an image online be of any help or are you looking for the original pages?

    Sooner Born Sooner Bred, do you live near the city, because I know of a great place that has the best magazines from the old days that are an absolute steal. I don't know the name of the place but I can give you directions.

    Re: Old Advertisements

    Have you tried going to some of the smaller departmental libraries on campus?

    They often have oooold original copies of magazines and journals that they've accumulated over the years. Heck, outside of the Felgar Hall Engineering Library, they often have stacks of 30-40 year old magazines they're giving away.
