The other day David Fisher sent me
some old newspapers. Among them was a 1936 Alderson Advertiser, a 1954
Alderson Times, two of Alderson's early newspapers, and a 1959 Monroe Watchman.
Below are some advertisements I
scanned from the papers. The top two are from the 1936 Alderson
Advertiser. Tom Dameron has spent extensive time on transcribing several
pages he sent to me for the Aldersonian, which you can see
here. If
you've never read these pages, please check them out.
The two middle, and the bottom
left, photos are from the 1954 Alderson Times.
The last one is when the Mercury
recording artist, The Crew Cuts came to the W. V. State Fair, and this
ad was in a 1959 Monroe Watchman. (click on photo for
