A Word from our Sponsors . . .


Well, they might have been sponsors of this site, if only they were still around.

Apologies for the poor quality of some of these images. That’s what happens when you’re working with microfiche copies of old issues of the Mercury-News at the San Jose library. Despite best efforts at cleanup in Photoshop, this is as good as it’s gonna get, folks. I still thought these old adverts were worth sharing, a veritable time capsule of our old neighborhood.
