Bethany,

Believe me, there's lots of interesting news articles in those old mags. Problem is, scanning them will be a challenge, as these things were printed in a very large format. It will take some doing! By the way, one of them shows a full two pages of photos of movie stars in their uniforms, who were then serving in the Armed Forces.

Sara,

15 years ago, when we lived in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, a very old lady who was a member of our church congregation, had passed away. She lived in a beautiful old house that dates from the 1850s. I was invited by her heirs to come by her house and look through the lots of old magazines, etc. that she had collected over the decades. I brought home a box of magazines dating from the 1920s that had lots of beautifully lithographed full-page color ads featuring Campbell's Soup, Wrigley's Chewing Gum, The A&P Market (where the Metcalfs and everybody else in River Run might have done their grocery shopping), Johnson Wax Floor Buffers, as well as some beautiful ads for Ford and Chevrolet automobiles. I also came accross a guidebook for the 1939 New York Worlds Fair. Sometimes, it pays to visit an estate sale. You never know what you might find. I was lucky to get all those old magazines free.
