I took these photos with my cell phone so I'll bet they are rotated wrong. Sorry guys.
My farm was originally a fairly prosperous dairy. At the tail end of the depression the owners remodeled the house putting in fantastic things like whole room linoleum. I remodeled it all again about five years ago. Under the entire first floor's carpet and old linoleum was the newspapers they had laid out before installation. They range in years from 1935 to 1941. I have hundreds of newspapers completely undamaged that were laid out flat. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away so they have been flat under the bed in the spare room.
I would like to frame some of interesting ones and hang them in the stairway to the upstairs. That stairway has a window that faces north. It is brightly lit but not direct sunlight. Will I be able to do anything to keep them from fading?
I'd love suggestions. I've attached a few pictures I thought were neat. I can post more if you are interested. Of course the ones I like the most are the auto and farm ads for cars and parts for just cents. There is a color Popeye comic from 1935. I also thought the co-op newspaper was interesting. Inside it boasts (with pictures) of the new cooperatives built in places like Moundridge, KS.
