NJ Goodwill Workers find Original 1774 'rebel' Newspaper
Goodwill workers in NJ find original 1774 ‘rebel’ newspaper
By MARYCLAIRE DALE October 25, 2018 BELLMAWR, N.J. (AP) — A quick eye by Goodwill workers in southern New Jersey turned up framed pages from an original 1774 Philadelphia newspaper with an iconic “Unite or Die” snake design on the masthead. The frayed Dec. 28, 1774, edition of the “Pennsylvania Journal and the Weekly Advertiser” boasts three items signed by John Hancock, then president of the Provincial Congress, who pleads for the Colonies to fight back “enemies” trying to divide them. A jumble of small advertisements offer rewards for a lost horse or runaway apprentice, while another insists the poster will no longer pay his “misbehav(ing)” wife’s debts.

I wish I had what is basically a for-profit organization that gets all of its inventory donated for free. Then I could also periodically announce to the press my valuable "finds" to increase bidding at my website.

We have one of those stores a half-mile from Surratt House, and there are always cars at the receiving ramp donating items that will be sold to folks needing help or seeking good bargains -- and the profits go into a private pocket. |
