I ordered a “newspaper” for my friend for her sixty fifth birthday. She loves this newspaper, but had no access to it since she retired. When I ordered it I thought about ordering me a subscription too, but I thought “no” I don’t need it.
My mother always got this newspaper. She ordered patterns out of it, she copied or cut recipes out of it, and I heard her discuss news articles with my dad and other ladies that was in this newspaper. It also had stories in it. The picture here is of a Grit magazine I believe in 1982
Many people ordered this publication because it was not full of blood and gore and dismal headlines like the daily newspapers were.
My friend came to visit today and gave me her first copy of her “Newspaper”. It was a magazine. I said, “What’s this?” Of course, it was obvious. I said, “Well, it looks like a magazine.” After she left, I went through it page, by page, no patterns for sewing or crocheting, or knitting. I didn’t see any recipes, however she did say she cut out two; there were no current events at all. Blood, gore, and war can be left out of little newspapers, but everything was left out but features In my opinion, that’s not progress.
Keith, featured in this magazine was pie plant, anybody know what that is? Please post your comments.
