I’m just curious if any of them are still around.. because I have one from July 21st, 1866.. it costed 10 cents for the newspaper and $1.50 to have newspapers delivered to you per year. It has jokes that are completely weird.. here’s one:
What do you call women in ballet who have bad relations? -Women that can’t get along with grand-pas!

Was that anywhere near being funny? lol, this newspaper is pretty cool.. i’m reading names of people who are dead.. oh, and did you know in the ad’s section of the paper I could get jewelry for $2.50? Man these are great deals, oh and i’ve noticed that propaganda techniques used from 1866 are still goofy and the same as nowadays propaganda techniques. I love these old newspapers.. it’s like a time machine.

I’m pretty sure hospitality was very good in the 19th century.

Medical practices and hospitals on the other hand, not so much.
