Here’s a creepy crawly illustration from a
roach killer advertisement from a 1910 “The Housekeeper” magazine.
It’s creepy enough for some Halloween projects.
This is the complete advertisement, in the natural color tone.
I have no idea what “electric” paste was, but if
I could sympathize with a roach, (and I can’t)
I’d feel a little sorry for this guy who is loosing limbs as he walks
away from the stuff.
This interesting advertisement was sent
to me by Audrey @ Timeless Treasures.
Blessings,
Angie

Due to unethical websites stealing content, I can no longer provide a full RSS feed. I work too hard to produce original and inspiring content to have it stolen by others. Thank you for your understanding – I appreciate each one of you that take time out of your day to visit Knick of Time!!
WOW Angie … that guy is really scary. Great for Halloween. You see things in those magazines that I would never have seen. Glad you are using them and sharing with the Bloggers.
Thanks for mentioning Timeless Treasures. So happy that I sent you the magazines and papers.
Hugs,

We call these Palmetto bugs and the worst thing about them? They fly! Love the illustration though!
I love it and will use it for my Halloween decoration. Thanks so much Angie!
