Armistice Day, 1929

Lassen Mail, November 8, 1929

The above was an advertisement placed by the Bank of Lassen County. Using lingo from the newspaper writers of the past, for those of the younger set, Armistice Day is now known as Veteran’s Day. What caught my particular attention of this ad, it had only been eleven years since the ending of what was then referred to as the Great War (World War I) and they raised concern that a younger generation were unaware of it, and the sacrifices made.
