Great newspapers! My grandparents once knocked out a wall in there bathroom to renovate and found it was lined with old comic books ! They sold the comics and it paid for the whole bathroom reno!! 😀
I was a builder for 25 years doing a lot of historical reno work, you would not believe all the stuff I found in walls ,attics and basements. One example, pulling down a beach town bungalow's ceiling 5 new 20$ bills floated down, silver certificates put there in 1929, new bills, uncirculated. They were stashed and forgotten and sold for more than face value.
1929 is the year the stack market crashed, interesting. I wonder if there's a correlation. A friend's father, who didn't trust banks, stashed money somewhere in their house, but nobody knows where. He died suddenly and nobody ever found the money.

@@rachelh5211 Was that anywhere near Ontario, California? A friend's father, who didn't trust banks, stashed money somewhere in their house, but nobody knows where. He died suddenly and nobody ever found the money. That was in the 1980s. They eventually sold the house.
My husband and I bought a house back in the early 80's. The house had been built in the late 30's to early 40's. They didn't have electricity there at the time so they didn't put any outlets in at all. Later when they got electricity they installed I think it was 3 outlets in the whole house. They had also put the sockets that you screw into the light fixtures in every room. While running new wiring and installing more outlets we found newspapers in the walls and they had used newspapers to wrap the pipes, also to put under the seams of where the linoleum pieces met. I loved looking through them, it was a little like going back in time.
Although that living room furniture was high priced, it was made to last. I own an easy chair, rocker and footstool my grandparents had before I was born. It was used when they bought it. The fabric has almost no wear, and aside from "character" nicks and bumps on wood parts, they are totally structurally sound, going on nearly 100 years old! Today you're lucky to get 10 years out of big box store furniture!
Fascinating! I have a scrapbook I made of newspaper clippings in 1978-1980. Fun to look back on. One article is about the miracle of technology as the first cable tv service started in Youngstown, Ohio in December, 1979. Warner Cable.
I LOVE the end of your intro with Hans says, "I'm home, honey!" Makes me giggle every time! Alex, you need to buy another property so Hans and Zenovia can be in your vids again!
Back in the late 60s, my neighbors were replacing their living room window, the walls were stuffed with balled up newspapers from the 20s. Us kids spent the whole day smoothing the pages back out, taping them together, and looking at ads for food and clothing. We really didn't care much about the news.
During the restoration of my home I found newspapers of 1912 that they used to stuff holes between the wall and the doorframe before applying plaster (here we build houses using mostly concrete bricks, for my house they used sand stone and coral stone as concrete was not readily available at that time) so the kitchen extension of my house can be dated to 1912 because of the newspaper. I also found stacks of newspapers of that time period in the loft of this parts of the house. I saved those newspapers that were not damaged by termites. Love the ads of those times, only a very few of the companies advertising back then are still in existence, mostly banks and shipping companies.
I loved your bow tie and vest as an homage to the 1920s. Those papers were fun and fascinating to schnuffle through. Before you ask, schnuffle is a word my low Dutch relatives use to describe rummaging or poking around.
My dad loved reading old papers and genealogy. He liked Farmer's Almanacs. I guess I get that love of these kinda things from him. Back in the early 60s we lived in Portland Oregon. I was 3 yrs old. My Aunt was notified somehow that a person who lives in that house was renovating and found my dad's wallet. It had his military ID, SS Card, a picture of my sister and some other papers. I have it and cherish it. Crazy how that lady found my aunt who doesnt have my dad's last name. Go figure!!
Looks like you stepped out of the past and quite Spiffy. You match your profession beautifully. Stay warm and be the good guy you have shown everyone you remain. Your family has such a great roll model. You are so fortunate to have your wonderful and multi-creative family. Love that you share in such an entertaining way. You all are amazing.
So fascinating! I was hoping Alex would read the comics. That's a great way to find out what people were thinking at the time. Also noticed that Jason Robards was in "Rin-Tin-Tin".
When I was twelve years old a neighbor showed me a whole series of my local paper. They had been mounted on poles for library use before the library put the whole newspaper on microfilm back to its first issue in1805. I immediately turned to the last pages and read all the comics. They ran from the early thirties for maybe ten years. The ones I remember most were Krazy cat and Blondie. Krazy was a cat that lived out in New Mexico and was in love with a mouse named Ignatz who she called Little Dollink or li'l anchell. When she got too romantic, Ignatz would bounce a brick off her head and Officer Pupp would haul him off to jail. Blondie was still single back then, working hard for low pay, and dating her spoiled, rich, and kind of kookie boyfriend Dagwood Bumstead. (Later, Dagwood would marry her, his parents would disown him for marrying such a low-class woman, and he would be forced to go out and get a job. Ninety years later and he still hasn't caught onto how to go about working for a living.
Thanks for the memories. A friend of mine, several years ago, bought several boxes of old newspapers in Toronto, mostly from the 30's and 40's. He found his own birth announcement in one of them. Over the years he gave many people the newspaper from the day they were born as birthday gifts. The ads, comics and want ads are the best part.
This video made me smile. It perfectly portrays you Alexander (smart, funny, insightful, etc). I loved going through the headlines and classifieds with you and learning a little history along the way. I’d love more videos going through old ads and papers like this. This was fun!
In 1927-28, my grandparents were young marrieds with babies. I love reading these old papers with the news, sports, local happenings, fashions, recipes etc and seeing how they lived at that time.
When ripping up flooring in our home, we found newspaper pages covering the whole floor from the 30s and 40s with really cool car advertising and comic pages! For being under flooring, they were pretty well preserved!
We used to live at 13511-102nd Ave in the early 80s. There was no insulation in the walls (or at least the sawdust had settled down over the years!) The frost used to come through the front door lock and there was frost inside the closet. Fun days. We were newly married and didn't care. Love all your videos. PS there were newspapers and magazines in the attic space. Now I collect them.
My 200 year old house was last completely renovated in 1942-43. We can tell because newspapers from those years were used as insulation under the linoleum in each room. They are mostly still in great shape and the War news was very interesting. So were the ads.
Interesting to read old newspapers. While looking through a newspaper from 1916 I came across the home I grew up in, advertised as a brand new house for sale or rent. I wish they had listed the price.
My dad kept old newspapers from WW2 in a pile. Many of the papers were Canadian as he was based in Winnipeg during much of the war. When he retired, he sorted them into numerical order/dates and put them into large boxes. Put them under the house so that he knew where they were. Yes, floods came in 1974, huge one, and though their home was quite high, he didn’t have the time to rescue them. He also lost his grandfathers books, all of Shakespeare. As he said, ces’t la vie….😍🇦🇺
Interesting how life has changed and has remained the same in many ways. Like your wardrobe today. You're looking more rested. Best wishes to you and the family, Mr.A.
Where I live in Germany we still have the original Zeppelin company operating two or three real zeppelin airships (the giant ones with steel framing, not blips). They are a sight to behold.
We gutted our old bathroom some years ago and found a 1952 Grit newspaper. It was interesting to read, plus my grandparents used to take the Grit and I was used to seeing it anyway.
Great video. I loved seeing these old newspapers. Very fascinating. The Clove lifesavers were interesting. An ad on food prices would have been neat to see.
I love old newspapers. In an estate sale I did once, I found an old newspaper that had this ad along with a picture: "Found, one white cotton sock. (included picture of the sock) If you have the other sock, come get this one." I died laughing! Someone paid money to put this ad in the newspaper a loooong time ago. Socks must have been very expensive back then.
Hey Alex, what an amazing find. You know what would make a great project for one of your kids Setup a photo copy stand with two lights and photograph completely several issues of these old newspapers. Imagine how great it would be to preserve them for future generations of Archbolds to see. Oh and they could put one copy of the project on digital media sealed inside a Mylar bag inside one of the walls in your new home to be randomly found in a hundred years perhaps. Of course they will have to go down to " Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe " to buy an antique tablet to view the digital memory card on.
One of my favorite flavors of gum is Clove. I'm always excited to find it somewhere. It's a contemporary (for me) with Beemans and Black Jack. Love them all. I found some interesting info about Clove gum at the vintage gums website.
I remember buying all those gums once or twice at Pick N Save when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. Not much competition for Big League Chew, Bazooka, or Hi-Chew, though.
When I was a kid (in the 60's) the Christmas "books" of Lifesavers came with a roll of clove flavoured Lifesavers. It made the whole thing smell so special. I really miss that smell. The version of the Lifesaver books today just isn't the same without that clove scent.
Definitely a good source for finding out what that old mystery kitchen gadget was. Found an old bottle capper and didn't know what it was until I saw it in an old paper. Still have it.
years ago people renovating and C16 cottage in the UK, started working in an adjoining wall only to find layers of 100 year old newspapers before accidentally breaking through into next-door. the cottage and next door used to be one big house which was split into by simply gluing lots of old newspapers together and painting them over
I enjoyed pausing it to read everything....some fun bits, some sad bits at 8:48..(106yr old hoped to play Santa but slipped on ice) ect but all interesting.
Good morning Alex and everyone. Yes that was fun. They used to have a place that you could order the newspaper from a certain day or year. I don’t know if that still exists but I thought of doing that like for the days my children were born ( but now way older) and give that to them as a gift. I don’t know if they would have appreciated that but I never did it .I thought it a great idea. I will have to still check into that and follow through this time. Thanks for reminding about that! 🙂
Good morning Alex, I needed a good laugh this cold raw day in Massachusetts. the late 20s our countries were struggling and leading into the great depression of 1929. But you could take the family out for Christmas dinner for about 10 bucks. The ads were great! Don't forget to tell Melissa that you did your humper exercise today. Thanks for sharing Alex
So many memories.... My parents bought five lots from the city at 148th St. and 95th Ave for $40 ea, in the thirties. Then built a house with newspaper and sawdust in the walls. Had a mink farm there too until 1956. I delivered the Journal along 142ond street beginning in 1950. You could get a plate of cabbage rolls for .60 every Thursday in the Men's room in a local hotel, Toronto (1964). Like your shirt...I saw them at the Bay here in T.O.
I love the old newspapers... That was a cool find! And I liked the one with the zeppelins. I live in NJ and live 6 miles from Lakehurst where the Hindenburg crashed. I was very lucky to attend the 75th anniversary of the date of the Hindenburg disaster and stood right on the naval base and spot where it crashed. Growing up you used to see quite a few of the "blimps' flying around. Thanks Alex for sharing that clip and newspaper collection. And love your new addition to your store! 👍👍👍
we had old newspapers under all of our flooring because the floors were tongue and groove and were pretty drafty. the ads made us all chuckle and some of the gossip columns were a bit colorful too.
I found an old page of newspaper in an apartment I was living in. It told the story about how a woman working for the army stole the treasure of the royal house of Hesse. Police arrived to her home in Hudson, Wisconsin as she was serving dinner on the Hessian royal family's best dinnerware.
Great newspapers! My grandparents once knocked out a wall in there bathroom to renovate and found it was lined with old comic books ! They sold the comics and it paid for the whole bathroom reno!! 😀
Sounds like something that would happen to Alex!
1 page from a comic book recently sold for over $3M
Wow‼️💥👍
I am a historian and have spent many hours looking at old newspapers. The ads can be the best part of the reading. :-)
Definitely. Ads and the little local stories about the things people were doing.

They were stashed and forgotten and sold for more than face value.
Someone else in the comments said while renovating or demolishing an older home they found $30,000 cash. 😳
1929 is the year the stack market crashed, interesting. I wonder if there's a correlation. A friend's father, who didn't trust banks, stashed money somewhere in their house, but nobody knows where. He died suddenly and nobody ever found the money.

What a find. Very different time. Cloves was one of my favorite lifesaver flavours
Am amazed at the quality of the ink still being legible not to mention the brilliance of the red color.
I LOVE the end of your intro with Hans says, "I'm home, honey!" Makes me giggle every time!
Alex, you need to buy another property so Hans and Zenovia can be in your vids again!
Do you watch Han's TH-cam?? ☺
@@pattiebraymanskelly954 OF COURSE!!! I have to have my Hans fix!!!
I always say hi Hans lol 😆

Cleaning out church basement found newspapers from 1909, what a find.
Thanks for sharing Brother Alexander. Love that Jackson Pulluk style shirt. Interesting news papers 😀👍❤🇨🇦🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏🎉🎉🎉💯💯
Alexander as always , Entertaining and Informative
So cool! Thanks for sharing with us.

Please consider adding a newspaper or two in the walls of your new home for later generations to find. Look how much fun it was for you to see those!

You are so funny!! I love watching your videos!! You brighten my day!
Carpenters would also stick a newspaper into the studs from the day that they put the last piece of drywall or panelling up.
In 1927-28, my grandparents were young marrieds with babies. I love reading these old papers with the news, sports, local happenings, fashions, recipes etc and seeing how they lived at that time.
My grandpa was born in 1927 and my grandma hadn't even been born yet, she was born on Christmas Day 1930.

neat treasures. like a time capsule. ty for sharing enjoyed
Old newspapers were often found in my youth under old linoleum flooring. Always interesting. Thanks for another great vlog.
How fun to see the old ads and stories.
Thank you
The King Eddie! I used to eat there back in the 70s.
Unreal the information discovered! Great find!
Very enjoyable, thanks for lightening the day.
Such fun content very cool storyline !!!! I enjoyed this episode!!!
I could have watched this all day! Loved it.
My mom was born in 1928 My dad in 1921. Quite interesting to see what made the news back then . Thank you for sharing .
Love this trip back to 1927. Do more please!

That was fun! Thanks for sharing Alex!
We called our sofa a Davenport, back in the day. 😊
I look every single day to see any new videos. Elated
My father owned a 1963 Citroen. It was white with red interior and didn’t come with a heater so he had one installed.

Thank you , I went down a couple of rabbit holes looking up missing female aviators, thanks for expanding my education.
I love old papers and ads, magazines. You learn so much!
Fun find ♥️ always been a pleasure, thank you for the entertainment. Good luck to you.
So happy to see a media piece that actually reports the news.
My mom loved Clove life savers in the 40s & 50s. They were great. There was a chocolate flavor too.
Enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Thanks!
Times sure have changed! Thanks Alex! Stay warm everyone! Peace to all.....💜💙💜
Where I live in Germany we still have the original Zeppelin company operating two or three real zeppelin airships (the giant ones with steel framing, not blips). They are a sight to behold.
Really enjoyed this look at the past...thank you.
We gutted our old bathroom some years ago and found a 1952 Grit newspaper. It was interesting to read, plus my grandparents used to take the Grit and I was used to seeing it anyway.
Sounds great but those days that was expensive. Love old newspapers Thank you Alex I truly enjoyed this video.👍🙂
Great video. I loved seeing these old newspapers. Very fascinating. The Clove lifesavers were interesting. An ad on food prices would have been neat to see.
Thoroughly enjoyed the old newspapers Alex. Might I add that you're looking quite dapper in your bow tie. Love the shirt!
How fascinating . Thanks for sharing Alex.
Very cool, I love finding and reading those kind of things.

Hey Alex, what an amazing find. You know what would make a great project for one of your kids
Setup a photo copy stand with two lights and photograph completely several issues of these old newspapers.
Imagine how great it would be to preserve them for future generations of Archbolds to see.
Oh and they could put one copy of the project on digital media sealed inside a Mylar bag inside one of the walls in your new home to be randomly found in a hundred years perhaps. Of course they will have to go down to " Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe "
to buy an antique tablet to view the digital memory card on.
That was fun! I like looking at old headlines/stories and ads :) Very cute shirt - bowtie - vest!

The hindenburg went up in Flames due to the heavily 'silver doped' outer covering.
There was an electrical short with-in the diridgeable and whoosh!
I enjoyed pausing it to read everything....some fun bits, some sad bits at 8:48..(106yr old hoped to play Santa but slipped on ice) ect but all interesting.
Great video, I really enjoyed those newspapers and your sense of humor Alex!!! Cheers!!!
My phys Ed teacher was one of the grads. Her name was Miss Byrd!
Love your tie and shirt. My daughter-in-law makes bow ties for children (or she used to)
I enjoyed this. Before most of our time so interesting to see what was going on. Like you said it was a good year as things were happening. Thanks.

Yes it is a great idea. I did it about 15 years ago as a 50th wedding anniversary gift for my parents
so agree
Sounds interesting to me 🦄♥️
Do you have a link?
I do remember liking the Clove Lifesavers. Thanks for the memories!
Good morning Alex, I needed a good laugh this cold raw day in Massachusetts. the late 20s
our countries were struggling and leading into the great depression of 1929. But you could take the family out for Christmas dinner for about 10 bucks. The ads were great! Don't

Fascinating.... absolutely love old newspapers and magazines. So much fun to read and see how things were all those years ago. 🙂
I found an old page of newspaper in an apartment I was living in. It told the story about how a woman working for the army stole the treasure of the royal house of Hesse. Police arrived to her home in Hudson, Wisconsin as she was serving dinner on the Hessian royal family's best dinnerware.
I paused this many times to read some of the articles...lol....that was fun!
