This week we’re going to be concentrating on the
Seattle Times. Before getting to the building later in the week, let’s flip through the pages of the May 25, 1964 edition of the paper. First there’s an ad for the Emmy Awards on King 5 TV. First person to post the winners in the comments wins a special prize*. And second is an ad for Pacific Northern Airlines, which was swallowed up by Western Airlines (”it’s the oooonly way to fly!”) in 1967. Click on the news clippings for a larger view:

* Special prize is the admiration of all 5 Vintage Seattle readers.

The strange text in the airline ad about “Tour and vacation areas are in normal operation…” is almost certainly due to the fact this newspaper was printed quite two months after the “Great Alaska Earthquake” of March 28, 1964. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday_Earthquake.
