Simpler times

I'm still going through a pretty nasty bout of, as the doctor called it, somethingorother. To be honest, the crippling pain is getting pretty old now. I don't have to take any particularly nasty medicine, but I'd still prefer some maple candy or cocoa made by the people behind Crunchie bars.

The images are from Mary Evans and archive.org and date from about 1855 to 1926. I really enjoy looking at how advertising has changed and glimpsing a little of everyday life over a century ago.
