Antique Graphics Wednesday – 1910 Roach Killer Advertisement

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
Blessings,
Angie

  2. We call these Palmetto bugs and the worst thing about them? They fly! Love the illustration though!
