mr.mister Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I was flipping through a 1939 lifestyle magazine (fairly typical woman's mag) my lecturer loaned to me for an assignment today. I got to the end and noticed what I suppose would be today's classifieds, or something similar. In the middle of the page was a feature on the Irish Terrier, explaining the breed and its assets etc. All around the article in a border form were ads for purebred, registered (or whatever was done back in those days) litters. Great Danes (from imported lines and encouragement to show the pups), Sealyham Terriers, etc etc. In the bottom right corner there was even an editor's note stating that all breeders found on this page were "guaranteed above reproach". No 'schnoodles' or 'pugaliers'. It was a really nice thing to see - it seemed so commonplace - you'd be hard pressed to find anything like that these days. I enjoyed imagining what it would have been like back then. Just an interesting observation I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannibalgoldfish Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 There were no shnoodles ect because back then cross breeds were given away, not given a catchy name and sold for huge emounts of money...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rather making a comparison to modern day classifieds. I agree - they were onto something back then. Edited May 12, 2011 by mr.mister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
