Memorial Day Ad Features Civil War Veteran
Posted By Norman Gasbarro on October 26, 2018
This ad appeared in the Elizabethville Echo, 30 May 1929. It pictures three men, two in business or street clothing standing arm in arm with a Civil War veteran in a G.A.R. uniform. The advertiser, Sidney Goldman (1893-1965) was the owner/operator of the G. & S. Department Store of Elizabethville, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, that advertised itself as “Elizabethville‘s largest clothing store and only tailors.” Men of the G.A.R. wore a standard uniform which was sold and fitted at the G. & S. Department Store.
The ad appeared on Memorial Day and included the following tribute:
TO MEMORIAL DAY AND ITS HEROES
It’s for only a day that we pause from the hurry of business to pay homage to our comrades who made the great sacrifice for their country.
But in our hearts we cherish year in and year out, the heroes both with us and absent.,
They shall never be forgotten.
