Just brought down today from the attic, where it has been stored since 1954. I'm guessing about the year, since I have been around this Earth since 1954, also.
This table was advertised as a promotion for Blackstone washers (model 250, by the picture). I'm assuming that my father got the table from Blackstone and kept this one. Note the label from inside the drawer: from Jamestown, NY, where Blackstones were made. Note from the advertising just how many dealers sold Blackstones. I added the red arrow to point to our store. What I really need is a scanner large enough to accommodate newspaper pages. I would like to preserve these advertising from our store, but they just don't fit onto an 8.5x11 flatbed scanner. Sigh. |

In our Newspaper and Current Periodical Reading Room, we have large scanners that put an entire page onto a thumb drive. Perhaps you could ask your local library if they have one or if they can direct you to a larger library maybe at a school somewhere that has one. |

The Springfield City Library has a larger scanner, but only a half-page fits. The page was ripped in half anyway, due to its age. Pieced the top and bottom together as best as I could.
