Read all about it and sign up for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer… in 1902. This advertising relic comes to us from The Seattle Mail and Herald, at a time when the weekly plan cost just 75 cents a month. It now costs about 14 bucks. Apparently, at the time, the Seattle PI was only made up of “gentlemen” and “your friends in the east” would appreciate your subscription. I wonder what would happen if you sent this coupon in today, I mean there’s no legalese stating when it expires! Click on it for a larger view:
