It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

1/12/2016

Before the beginning of time ( pre-television) one of the main ways of getting product in front of buyers was to place eye-catching adverts in papers and magazines.
Here follows a few of the many of those, advertising cigarette and tobacco products, that focused on the Christmas period and the joys of smoking and giving such products to your loved ones.
Have a Very Happy and Smoke Free Christmas!

From black & white adverts from the 1920's, 30's and 40's

To the very colourful 50's and 60's

The oak parquet flooring I purchased is everything I hoped for and more. It has a rich, warm look that’s perfect for any space. The craftsmanship is amazing, and the quality is evident in every plank.
