Vintage 7 Up advertisement

More vintage illustrations - this time advertising. 7up for babies, surely not! But Fry's chocolate is fine, one of my favourites - especially Fry's Cream as per the picture I have added to the bottom of the ad.

And back to the hard stuff - vintage Coca-Cola. May give you extra large shoulders!

And finally for today, vintage Rowntree's Fruit Gums. I remember as a child we used to see how long we could make a gum last. Value for your pocket money that way!

Another month has passed us by so here are the Top 10 most viewed posts on 67 Not Out for the month of August 2014.

3. The Meaning Of White Feathers As Messages From The Dead
I'm returning to the subject of white feathers today and their meaning. Since first writing about this I think I've had more emails on the subject than anything else. By white feathers I mean how they can often be found following a loved ones death. Read full post

4. The Telegram That Told Of A Death

8. Ghostly Rye: The Most Haunted Town In England
One of the most atmospheric and ghostly places I have visited is the town of Rye on England's south coast. Some claim it is the most haunted place in the UK and on a visit it's possible to see why this is. Last year my wife and I were staying in a 15th century cottage ... Read full post

Here are a few 1914 adverts - the first was an obvious one: Join the army, but the rest were a mixed bag. I guess no one back then had any idea as to how the war would change the world.
