For October 7th, 1920. Got to love some of the ads in this one, particularly the "Union Suit" one, and the now defunct Essex Motors. Wonder why they'd advertise for autos in a kids magazine?

I've (finally!) uploaded those sections of the Sentinel that I'd found along with The Youth's Companion issues. The 1933 pages came out fairly well. The image files are sort of large (1600 pixels wide), so on your monitor you'll have to scroll around to read them, unless you've got a high-res screen. The 1934 issue (the society pages) might look a little strange. I wasn't able to take these pages with me, so I had to shoot each page in four parts on the dining room table! From there I had to overlap, skew, and stitch the lot together. Believe me, that was a bit of work. So, my apologies for the quality of those images. I may go back in and try to summarize some of the key points on the pages, but there's just a lot of stuff to go through there. Link: Milwaukee Sentinel Albums in the Library
