Neatorama reader Melia Gleason wrote to us about Scenes from the Morgue blog by Chad Plambeck, a blog dedicated to retro-pulp movie ads that appeared in the The Grand Island Independent newspaper published by the company she works for.
The term "morgue," Melie explains, is the archive department. It's where a copy of every issue of the newspaper is kept. Usually, this is located in the basement.
Link (don't miss the "Yuk" Buffet one) - Thanks Melia!
I knew someone who had some of these old ads from newspapers and they sold them for thousands.

I like to read what my husband calls "Hell's waiting room" magazines, like Good Old Days. They have regular features of menus and ads from distant era's. Amazing stuff.
