It's 1908 and here are two advertisements from Chatterbox, a weekly magazine for children.... Interesting to see what was advertised and also note the price of a Swan fountain pen. Half a guinea was a considerable sum of money then!

Lots of pushy advertising there. Not much has changed.
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
You're right Cathy. Even as early as 1908, kids were seen as a market.

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS
Just one more advertisement. They fascinate me. Remember the date, 1908 and remember what we have previously discovered about drugging children to keep them quiet..... That explains the language used by Steedman's.....
