Ok, so today I decided to take the frame apart, clean everything up and paint the frame, which was black. Behind the print was all this old newspaper, from January 1964. John & I had a great old giggle about some of the articles, brought back lots of memories. So I thought I would share them with you. This is the colour the newspaper was, I didn't want to change it.
Oh, my goodness, how would the poor nurses feel if they had to wear that headgear these days.
And don't you just love the old ads. They were for some airconditioning system, but who would know. Love the headband.
I'm going to put it all back when I reframe the print. Who knows who will find it one day.
Hugs, Coll :-}

Hi Coll, It is fun when you find an old newspaper/magazine behind old pics. You just can't believe how things have changed and therefore the changes we have seen in our lifetime.

Hi Coll, Well once you read my post today you'll see I have been pretty sore! I have everything wrapped and will go to get a box tomorrow. I'll send a vintage mag along so you can chuckle somemore1 What is really funny but kind of annoying is the way women were ;ooked at before, fragile and smelly! Really!! Have a great afternoon or gee not sure what time it is there! Love, Lori
When I first started out as a nurse 23 years ago I had to wear a hat . I hated it. I love the ad though.
