78. The News-Gazette & Journal-Herald on Feb 11, 1970

     Recently, Thursa Short (Board member, secretary) took photos of one edition of a bound newspaper collection that Mick "The Blogger" was searching for articles to share.  

While Mick is working on research for several blog posts... here is something that I (Thursa) thought might appeal to many of you who also like to see the ads from about 50 years ago... 

Many of these feature businesses from Union City area. 

Here are close up views of the banner for this paper in 1970. 

One thing that I really enjoy about 'old' newspapers are the articles sharing news of what's happening in neighborhoods around the county.

Here are some advertisements that I thought you may enjoy seeing.  

Comment below if you recall any of the businesses, what you or your ancestors purchased from there -even share your own photo of what you still have that what you bought from there. 

I wonder how many places have dances in 2019.
Comment below where adults can take their sweetheart out right here in Randolph County in 2019.
