We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: 1958 friends Author: bytemangler [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:28:20 12/04/12 Tue A while back I was on a similar quest - researching for a story set in the early '60s. Best source I found was a library with NY Times Microfilm archives covering the period. These films include the ads in the sections (although not the ad inserts) and provide a wealth of info about products, cars, prices, movies,and a lot more. There's also: http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1958.html (change year as appropriate) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958 (same rule) and a google search 'what happened in 1958' good luck
