Boots Chemist’s 1939 Christmas gift ads published in the Portsmouth Evening News. I have not found any ads like these in 1940 or 1941, which may be due to rationing and general scarcity or bombing. I know other shops in the area were damaged, so that may have been the case here too.

1930s curtains, sheets, & towel advertisements

This entry is part 3 of 17 in the series 1935 Chicago Mail Order Company Catalog

Here are some scans from the 1935 Chicago Mail Order Company of curtains (swagger sets were “new and stylish”), bedspreads of Cretonne, double loop quality towels, 87 inch seamless unbleached sheeting, and Pepperell pre-washed quality sheets! Quite a lot of care was taken, and hardly anything in these pages cost more than a dollar.
