Came across a few yellowing pages of the Hamilton Advertiser dated 30 January 1937.

The advertisements are fascinating.

‘ The (Hillman) Minx Magnificent- The Greatest Success in Motoring History’ from £163

The Hamilton Advertiser of 1937 a broadsheet and a serious paper with well written articles on investing and city prices as well as detailed reports on local activities throughout Lanarkshire.

While cars have made amazing advances in 85 years The Hamilton Advertiser has deteriorated and would not be recognised as a newspaper by the proud and professional press room of 1937.
