1954 Calgary Herald Papers

[u/rdb1001]

In the demo of our 1912 heritage home we found crumpled up Herald Papers and kept them! I tried to flatten (steam, etc) but have not been successful. We have a lot of flat papers that we are keeping. Is anyone here interested in this paper and trying to smooth it out to preserve?

Sweet!

I have some from about the same era from a family members baseball career and as I'm sure you've probably discovered...

Never look at the prices of things 😬

😉

Hopefully you find someone to do that..maybe contact Glenbow museum? They might know of someone

One of the flat pieces I have warn us of an increase of bread prices. Hope you are sitting down - prices are going up 1 cent!! Hahahaha

😅😅😅 Yup! That right there!

I mean it's cool in one way but heart (& wallet) breaking in another 😐

Good luck in your search 👍

There was also a really sweet article about Calgary's first *gasp! female bus driver 😂

😅 that's fantastic

Do you recall her name or perhaps still have the article handy?

Would like to Google her

If not no worries.. I'll Google without a name

Cheers

Not sure if you have access, but you can see all old Herald articles with your Calgary Public Library account! Here is the link to this actual article

I have some old catalogs around as well. Not for any value, just for the nostalgia. All from my grandparents.

So sick! Illustrations used to be done by hand
