We first posted about Moore Investment Company in March of 2008. As you know, in 1900 J.A. Moore paid $225,000 for 160 acres of what would become Capitol Hill. I managed to dig up this 1902 ad showing what was for sale at the time. Ahh, craftsmanship — you are missed.

This ad comes straight from the 1902 Seattle Mail And Herald — a fascinating interior view of the “commodious” Westberg & Childs store on Sec ond Ave. The store had everything for ladies, almost everything for the home, and exemplified Seattle’s “progress idea.” So what happened to Westberg & Childs?

Vintage ad today is from the ’62 World’s Fair. Check out the Oldsmobile parked in front of Coliseum 21 with flags flying. This ad’s “projected view of the world of the future” did not take into account the fact that Oldsmobile would be slowly phased out in the early 2000′s after 100+ years of production. I believe this art style is called “Impressionistic Consumerism.” Click for higher-res.

Today’s vintage ad comes from the 1918 Argus. The Seattle Times used the Times Building from 1915 until 1931 (when they moved into their current home in South Lake Union featured here). Architecture firm Bebb and Gould designed the terra-cotta beauty as Times circulation rocketed to around 70,000. The newspaper was bought in 1896 by Col. A.J. Blethen (see his house here) and his descendants still own a majority of the paper today.

With our financial institutions crumbling around us, I thought we might look back 80 years to this vintage ad for Northern Life Insurance Company. The year was 1928 and the Northern Life Tower had just been completed — called out as “visible evidence of the company’s progress and achievement.” The ad is selling the “New Souvenir Tower Policy,” protection against the hazard of the “Deadly Wheel” (loss of thumb, forefinger, hand, foot, sight, etc). Back here in modern day I suppose I’ll choose losing my savings over losing my foot. Click on the ad for full resolution.

One of the issues getting a lot of press (sometimes in the form of outright lies) this election cycle is energy independence. It’s not a new idea, as shown by this Pavilion Of Electric Power handout from Seattle’s ’62 World’s Fair. These days, Hydroelectric still rules in Washington State — it is the leading producer in the nation with The Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River as the highest capacity plant in the country.

A colorful water wheel symbolizes the old “at site” use of water power. Alongside is a modern water wheel generator which demonstrates how water power is converted to electric power which can be transmitted to where it is needed. An animated display of nature’s water cycle shows why water power is inexhaustible. Another illustrates how power dams not only produce electricity but bring extra benefits of flood control, navigation, recreation and irrigation. Two more displays explain how electricity is produced from atomic and solar energy. Like others at the Space Age World’s Fair, this exhibit points out how our wonderful world will be even better in Century 21.

From the same copy of the 1902 Seattle Mail And Herald that brought us this West Seattle property ad comes a similar ad for Rainier Beach. It’s called “the place to live” — complete with electric car line service, sidewalks, street lights, schools, churches, stores. All the good stuff, as well as some steals on property values.

To complement the Vance Motor Hotel postcard I posted in June, this is a circa ’62 Vance ad. The Vance is now a much hipper place, renamed Hotel Max. From the ad: “The Vance Motor Hotel affords every modern comfort at moderate rates.

I’m typing this update on my brand new (well, old tech) buckling spring Unicomp Spacesaver keyboard. It’s basically brand new remake of the old clicky-clacky IBM Model-M, but with USB on the end. Typing is a dream on this sucker — you know just when you’ve struck a key (the metallic clang lets you know). Is it loud as hell ? Yes it is. Is it heavy enough to squash a cat ? Yes it is. Am I getting paid by Unicomp to say this ? No I’m not. Either way, goodbye forever, mushy modern piece of junk keyboard! I highly recommend the Spacesaver, don’t let the $70 price tag keep you away. With that, let’s take a look at an old advertisement for IBM’s “new paths to knowledge” exhibit from the ’62 World’s Fair. Click (clack) it!

I came across this fantastic illustration from a 1918 edition of The Seattle Sunday Times magazine. It shows a woman named “Golden Eyes” with her dog “Uncle Sam,” who is holding a liberty bond. Advertisements for bonds were common during World War I — with 17 billion dollars being raised. Ninety years on and with another war happening, bonds remain a safe bet in an unsteady market.
