In case you’re on the market for curtains…

Searching for doesn’t matter here what, I’ve come across this gem and laughed long enough to decide it needs to be shared. :’)


This is an ad of an interior décor store in Przemyśl, printed in a magazine “Nowa Reforma” (New Reform) on 15 March 1910, in Kraków.



On the top it yells “FOR FREE” and under it, in the tiniest print it continues “[one] gets nothing, but in the following fabulously low prices:” …and it proceeds with the stuff. Two sorts of curtains, whatever.
(The language is Polish, though Przemyśl and Kraków technically weren’t in Poland then, more for it not existing at the time than anything else. #itscomplicated)
(No idea if the price was low indeed. 2.60 to 5 krones for a 3m/~10ft pair…)

It's okay to comment in whatever language fits you best, as long as I get it. Don't mind the entry's language.

a bit of smile for today, history, po polsku
