I selected a few ads which were published in the Trenton Sunday Times Advertiser during the Christmas season of 1932. Like the Christmas of 2009, things were very tough in America. We were in the grip of "the Great Depression." Notice the ad for a typewriter from Walter W. Prior. Today, the Prior tradition is being carried on by the folks at Prior-Nami here in Hamilton. The four ads displayed above were very familiar to those of us who were around in the 30's and 40's.
