Jeff...this is neat (to me anyway)....but...unless I just can't figure out
HOW...I don't see where one can search by Brand name of products. Wish
they would have listed them...instead of the titles of the ads in their
list of products. I don't have time to click open every image (even within
a specific category)...hunting for a product...it I don't see brand names
mentioned in the titles of the images. Oh well.
In the past, I have found websites selling "vintage ads"...and found these
useful for product use, content, etc. Can't remember the names of the
sites now tho...and altho I thot I bookmarked the pages...I cant find them
in my list. oops.
Thanks for the link.
