Coming by the trainload and the truckload! And our city's consigned coffee boxcar is shown! The Whig had two full-page ads on March 11, 1948 advertising Maxwell House coffee. City merchants (above) and from the wider area. (As always, click image for a larger view.)
Watch for am upcoming post on Amherstview's history. I wonder if the bottom-left ad for the Amherst-View Grocery and Tourist Camp is one of the earliest uses of, in this case, 'Amherst-View' and where this campground may have been located. Sounds like it had a view of Amherst Island.
