📍Moncton's Chocolate River: A Natural Wonder! Did you know that Moncton, nestled in the heart of New Brunswick, is home to a unique natural wonder known as the Chocolate River? 🏞️🍃 Imagine a tranquil riverbank framed by lush greenery, and the water itself, a rich, captivating shade of chocolate brown. This incredible phenomenon isn't the result of melted chocolate, but rather the presence of tannins in the river's water, creating a breathtaking and historic landscape. 🍂📜 The Chocolate River's fascinating color dates back to its historical roots when early settlers named it due to its resemblance to the rich hue of cocoa. 🍫☕ It's a testament to Moncton's rich history and a testament to the region's natural beauty. . . . . . #chocolateriver #monctonhistory #natureenthusiasts #thetravelkid #withgalaxy

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Rialto Turkey Trot," The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec 9, 1922, p. 8. Maggie Grant comments: "This ad stood out to me because it is interesting to see what events were happening 100 years ago. I also wonder what this event would have looked like and how many people were there."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Winter Trips to California," The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec 8, 1922, p. 5. Maggie Grant comments: "People still travel to warmer places in the winter today and it was interesting to see how people would travel during 1922. Today most people use airplanes to get the warmer destinations in the winter, and I found it interesting to see that the railways were a main way that people traveled."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Public Hall at Rexton Destroyed by Fire on Friday,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec. 2, 1922, p. 1. Ethan Druart comments: "This section of the newspaper grabbed my attention because it reminded me of other fire and building destructions in Moncton’s history. Specifically, the section reminded me of the “million-dollar fire” in 1906 and the natural gas building destruction in the early 20th century. Overall, it is interesting to see evidence of a fire like the Public Hall one and compare it to other disasters that occurred around the same time."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Twenty-Five Years Ago," The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec 7, 1922, p. 4. Maggie Grant comments: "I found this story interesting because they were reprinting a story from 1887. It also shows the importance of railroads at the time and the positions that some people had." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Was Life Brought to the Earth by Sunlight?” The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec. 1, 1922, p. 3. Ethan Druart comments: "I was captivated by this section of the newspaper because it illustrated an interesting perspective. The section labels Venus and the Sun as key impacting factors in the formation of life on Earth, where the sun carries particles from Venus to the Earth. This article reflects some of the 1922 scientific theories and understanding regarding the formation of life and it is interesting to compare to how scientists of today theorize how life was formed."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Moncton Times Subscription, The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec 6, 1922, p. 4. Maggie Grant comments: "I found this ad interesting because it shows what newspapers cost in 1922. At the time, someone could get a month subscription to the Times for fifty cents. Today it is around 19 dollars a month for an online copy of the Times and Transcript." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “DRIVE TO THE RIGHT: At Midnight ‘The Rules of the Road’ Change,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 30, 1922, p. 8. Ethan Druart comments: "I found this announcement very captivating as it represents a significant change in Moncton’s history. With further research, I learned that December 1st, 1922, was the first time ever in Moncton’s history that drivers would transfer from driving on the left side of the road to driving on the right side. I found this greatly intriguing because it is a major change that took place which impacted all drivers and would certainly take time for drivers to adjust to." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Royal Baking Powder Advertisement, The Daily Times (Moncton), Dec 5, 1922, p. 3. Maggie Grant comments: "I found this advertisement interesting because certain baking products were advertised in the newspaper. Today food items are not usually seen in the newspaper because they are usually in grocery store flyers." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Feeling that France Will be Forced to Take Independent Measures Against Germany,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 29, 1922, p. 2. Ethan Druart comments: "This article captivated me because it was shortly after the completion of the First World War and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Moreover, it presents the initial attitudes and feelings before France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr region in Germany in 1923. It was interesting to read this section of the newspaper that illustrates the tension based upon agreements made in the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Such tension from the treaty would play a factor in the lead-up to the Second World War and it is interesting to see these factors presented in the Moncton news." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Politics Cannot be Ignored on C.N.R Says Pictou M.P.,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 28, 1922, p. 1. Ethan Druart comments: "I was drawn to this because it incorporates the railroads, which is something greatly important in Moncton’s history. Moncton served as the “hub city” and was an important hub in the Maritimes for the railroads. The railroads and CNR served a crucial role in job opportunities for Monctonian’s and the railroads were a major part of Moncton’s identity. Thus, I found it interesting to see the significance of the railroads reflected in this newspaper article, especially its impact politically." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Drive to The Right” The Daily Times (Moncton), December 2, 1922, p. 6. Sean Finnigan comments: "In this newspaper article we see that the rules of the road have changed. One of the most significant changes was that drivers would now have to drive on the right side of the road. I found this change to be extremely interesting. This was a big part of Canadian history that showed our independence from Britian." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Hillsboro Will Have New Rink Ready Soon” The Daily Times (Moncton), December 1, 1922, p. 7. Sean Finnigan comments: "I chose this article because hockey rinks are something that most communities have in Canada. When the rink burnt down, it only took 1 week before construction of the next rink started. This shows just how much a rink can mean to a community in Canada. This is something that has not changed over the last 100 years." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “$25,000 Fire on Main Street Last Evening” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 30, 1922, p. 8. Sean Finnigan: "I chose this story because this shows the history that Moncton has, and we do not realize it. We often find ourselves walking or driving around the city and not even recognizing the history that is right in front of our eyes. Next time you are on Main Street, try to picture yourself in the year 1922 and there is a building on fire." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Florida by Sea” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 29, 1922, p. 7. Sean Finnigan: "This was an advertisement that caught my eye instantly. I always have a fun time seeing how society has adjusted over time. For example, when I was trying to compare these prices to today's prices, all I could find were flights. It is much faster and more convenient for people to hop on a plane and fly wherever they need to go now instead of taking a ship. This is an obvious shift that was needed in our high-speed world that we live in today. Unless you are retired or on vacation, people do not have the time to travel by sea anymore." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Every Citizen of Moncton” The Daily Times, November 28, 1922, P. 8. Sean Finnigan comments: "I found this advertisement in the newspaper to be interesting because this was “the first real Canadian made picture.” Something else that makes this advertisement interesting is that the “picture” was made on Cape Breton Island and along the coast of Nova Scotia, somewhere that seems so close but would be considered far 100 years ago. Exactly 100 years ago today, Moncton citizens would be gathering at the Grand to view this picture." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Radical Change In ‘Rule of the Road’ After Dec. 1”, The Daily Times (Moncton) November 25th, 1922, pp. 3. Peyton Smith comments: "When I looked at this section of the newspaper, this certain section caught my eye, because looking back on how New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were having different ways on how you turned on the road compared to the rest of the country made me shocked on why they didn’t change it earlier when tourists from other provinces were getting into car accidents. I’m glad it was later changed to having no more accidents in the province and people who wanted to visit New Brunswick didn’t get into more accidents. This also shows the shift from what the old settlers in the area would do, and everything is now adapting to follow the rest of the country."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Regal Flour advertisement, The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 18, 1922, p. 7. Hannah Ferdinand comments: "It is interesting how much of an impact tea had on early North American society, even into the 20th century. When looking at these old newspapers, it is amazing how much the advertisements are centered around tea. Articles such as these, even use it as a selling plot." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Sir Robert Borden Opposed to Canada Becoming Separate Nation,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov 24, 1922, p. 1. Sam Tingley comments: "I chose this article because the headline was captivating, and I knew that Borden was the prime minister during the First World War. Wartime and immediate post-war politics are always intriguing and should always make national news. It is interesting to note that the First World War promoted a sense of independence for Canadian citizens as they fought valiantly and were even honoured on several occasions for their bravery. While I’m sure, Borden’s opinion may not have been the common theme of the time, but it is certainly an interesting discussion point." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “For Sale-Well Bred Collie”, The Daily Times (Moncton) November 24th, 1922, pp. 7. Peyton Smith comments: "Never have I ever heard of any sort of animal being advertised on the local news with [this kind of] description. I find it interesting seeing this, along with it being in Coverdale, where I grew up most of my life. People in Moncton would get their word out if anyone was interested in having a dog or even a pet, they could advertise it in the news, which makes sense and I find it unique seeing it advertised this way for a pet." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Girls and Children’s Coats Greatly Reduced FOR THIS SALE”, The Daily Times (Moncton) November 23rd, 1922, pp. 3. Peyton Smith Comments: "This advertisement engaged me to write about, because the price difference of clothing back then compared to what is today surprises me. With a lot of the value of items including clothing going up, its interesting to look back 100 years ago in Moncton history to see the sale prices for children’s coats and even women’s clothes were less than $20!"

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Indians Charged With Attempt to Obstruct Train,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov 17, 1922, p. 6. Hannah Ferdinand comments: "I was drawn to this article because it reminded me of times in class when we learned about Indigenous Peoples and Acadians that took steps against the colonization of the British. Although they were often unsuccessful, it showed agency." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “An Auto Cover, Sumner Co.,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov 23, 1922, p. 5. Sam Tingley comments: "This article stood out to me because of the size of an ad like this. I would not typically expect to see an ad for a car cover in such a prominent place on the page. Another thing that I found to be very interesting is the prices for the covers. Many of the ads that displayed prices stood out but because of the size of this one and the usefulness of the product I decided to use it. It also was interesting to note that many people may not use their cars in the winter and keep them as summer vehicles as the weather could ruin them. It is a good glimpse into the state of production at the time as well."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Dr. Chase’s Ointment advertisement, The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 15, 1922, p. 3. Hannah Ferdinand comments: "What drew me to this ad, was actually the advertising techniques used. This ad uses similar advertising techniques to modern times. It has a bit of a fear-mongering title, “Eczema Covered Arms of This Healthy Child.” It also has a testimonial of how wonderful the product is and how much it helped." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Cumberland County Academy Defeated Mt. A. Acad. At Basketball,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov 22, 1922, p. 2. Sam Tingley comments: "This article stood out to me when I read “Mt. A.” in the title because the school still exists and even still plays in the same league as Crandall in many sports. I found the article to be informative but the score of the game surprised me as it ended 8-4 and people were satisfied with this. It makes me think that the rules of the game must have been different because an 8-4 basketball game today would be awful. Sports history has always been intriguing to me and while this article was odd it also gives insight into the game at the time." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “REGAL In Your Own Oven”, The Daily Times (Moncton) November 22nd, 1922, pp. 7. Peyton Smith comments: "When looking at the advertisement, it’s interesting seeing how people in the area would cook their bread with old ovens that you don’t see anymore, along with advertisements being advertised in local newspapers instead of them being on your TV or social media. It feels nostalgic in a sense seeing what people would view in the newspaper, and where they would find advertisements for different household items." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Estimates of the Result of To-day’s Elections in Great Britain,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 15, 1922, p. 1. Hannah Ferdinand comments: "It is clear that even in 20th Century Moncton, the happenings of Britain were still in the public’s interest. Canadian fascination with British politics has been around ever since colonization and remains even now." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Amateur Hockey Assn. N.B. & P.E.I. Meets Here Today,” The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov 21, 1922, p. 2. Sam Tingley comments: "I found this article interesting because of my interest in sports and hockey specifically. The article went on the explain where several teams would play out of and it said that Fredericton would get only one team, rather than two for the 1922-23 season. This was also interesting to me because I am from Fredericton. This is also a significant piece of local new because of how popular and culturally important hockey was and still is today." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Maritime Skating Assn. Muddles the Awarding of Internat. Skating Meet!”, The Daily Times (Moncton) November 21st, 1922, pp. 2. Peyton Smith comments: ": I think this report is interesting, because Moncton is being awarded this big event that has people from different regions come together at the Y.M.C.I and celebrate a job well done for the skating community, and even holding such a big event. It must have been a fun experience to witness this happen in our own town 100 years ago."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food advertisement, The Daily Times (Moncton), Nov. 14, 1922, p. 3. Hannah Ferdinand comments: "What drew me to this ad was the similarity it has to modern “fad foods/diets”. The way that it was presented, reminds me of Dr. Oz. It is interesting to see that human societies do not change all that much over a century." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “MacDonalds Cigarettes” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 18, 1922, p. 5. Parker Barriault comments: "This stood out to me because of the positivity surrounding smoking. The slogan was interesting because of today's knowledge of smoking. The price was interesting too because of how cheap it is compared to today." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Boundary Creek” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 17, 1922, p. 5. Parker Barriault comments: " This stood out because Boundary Creek is a well- known area in Moncton. I also found it interesting that they recorded the people visiting people in the newspaper."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Charlottetown Rugby” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 16, 1922, p. 2.

Also was interesting to read about familiar schools and places that are still relevant today."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Musk As Medicine” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 15, 1922, p. 3. Parker Barriault comments, "This section talks about the newfound use for Musk. This stood out as it talks about a animal found in the north. It also is cool to see the growth in medicine."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “CCM Skates ad” The Daily Times (Moncton), November 14, 1922, p. 2. Parker Barriault comments, "This ad stood out to me as skating is a very Canadian activity and is still popular today. I thought that the ads showing it back then were cool and still like today's marketing of showing the strengths and experiences."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Noted English Scientist will be Heard Here" The Daily Times (Moncton) November 4, 1922, p.8. Jérémy Albert comments: "I chose this article about a noted scientist coming to Moncton. He apparently wrote the first book on eugenics. For those who do not know, eugenics [is] now [dis]proven as pseudoscience school of thought where preventing people with mental disorders or physical defects to reproduce is thought to be the answer to keep humans from developing similar ailments among other strange notions. To hear that such a “Scientist” has come to speak in Moncton is quite intriguing indeed." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Automobile Accidents" The Daily Times (Moncton) November 03, 1922, p.5. Jérémy Albert comments: "I chose this article, since it seemed strange to me that the newspaper had to clarify rumours about deaths occurring during a recent car accident. Nowadays we have the answer immediately, with the help of cell phone cameras and the media. It’s interesting to see to which degree, modern technology has been able to affect our capabilities to relay information to one another over time."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Dog for Sale" The Daily Times (Moncton) November 02, 1922, p.7. Jérémy Albert comments: "I chose this for sale ad, for a Pure-Bred Collie dog. The interesting part of this, is the price it is going for, (25$). The reason being that nowadays, that dog bread could be sold for anywhere between 800 to 2000$. I know I am probably not the only saying this, but it is astonishing to see how much the value of the Canadian Dollar has changed over the years." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Gillette Ad" The Daily Times (Moncton) November 01, 1922, p.3. Jérémy Albert comments: "I chose this old Gillete advertisement mainly because I did not know it existed 100 years ago. One of the things that stood out to me was how different the company logo looked like and how minimal the details were in the advertisement’s main drawing. The stickman and the supposed barrel or thing behind him are very poorly drawn. One could say that this is a different take on minimalism. “Minimalism of effort."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Benito Mussolini, Fascisti Leader, Triumphantly Entered Rome Monday," The Daily Times (Moncton) October 31, 1922, p.1. Jérémy Albert comments, continuing a Halloween theme: "I found this haunting article talking about Benito Mussolini. The Fascist Italian Dictator had just taken control of the Italian government. Learning about this a couple of years after the First World War would definitely be bone-chilling."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Cook Ware,” Daily Times, October 17, 1922, p.3. Sydney Curry comments, "The first thing that caught my attention was the mention of the cookware saving you money on the “fuel” and “wood” that is used for cooking, as the modern stoves run on electricity. However, the more shocking aspect of the advertisement was the phrase “think of the money that can be saved by women using...”. At the time, women were expected to do all the cooking, which is why it is important to understand historical documents in their context."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "Harvest Week Donations,” Daily Times, October 17, 1922, p.3. Sydney Curry comments: "I enjoyed reading about the foods, many of which we still enjoy, that were donated. Some of the items, such as oranges, must have been imported, but where did they come from? At that time, they must have been delivered either by the Westmoreland road, or the Petitcodiac river, which is something I would have never thought about prior to the course."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Women Voters” Daily Times, October 17, 1922, p.1. Sydney Curry comments, "As a proud feminist, this article is both sweet and sour. The advancement for women is amazing, but reading how men, especially the writer of the article, felt towards the positive change is disturbing. Thankfully, society has come extremely far, however, it makes me wonder what future feminists will find appalling about 2022 that we consider acceptable."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Syrup Pepsin,” Daily Times, October 17, 1922, p. 5. Sydney Curry comments: "This advertisement piqued my interest because of how outlandish the health benefits of sed laxative claimed to be. To think that there were few regulations on what could/ should be advertised for children is astounding. If this ad was in fact successful and many children were freely given the “syrup,” how many of them grew up with digestion issues and/or constipation due to regular use? Surely their bowels would become dependent on the substance."

Sydney Curry comments, "I find this advertisement particularly interesting because in modern times, travelling by locomotive is not the norm as it once was. Another reason is because tea, regardless of the brand, is not something Canadians associate with travel. Also notable is the fact that Canadiens, let alone Monctonians, did not have access to locomotives and had to travel either by foot, carriage, or ships, such as the settlers along the Petitcodiac River did."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Moncton favoured as headquarters of eastern lines” The Moncton transcript, Oct. 28, 1922, p. 1. Luke Butler comments, "I chose this headline, because in our history of here class we talked about how transportation shaped Moncton. Moncton’s shift from being a shipbuilding hub to becoming a railway hub was crucial for its development today, so it was cool to see that shift beginning."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Ford car advertisement, The Moncton transcript, Oct. 27, 1922, p. 6. Luke Butler comments: "This advertisement stuck out to me because it’s always interesting to see how much the price and advertisement of things changes over time. It’s crazy if you compare the prices on the add, to the prices of cars now, over the last 100 years the price has gone up exponentially. It’s interesting to contrast how it is advertised 100 years ago and how it is advertised now. Now advertisements normally speak to of the quality of the car, but this advertisement was focusing on how cheap the cars were."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “The World of Sport,” The Moncton transcript, Oct. 26, 1922, p. 4. Luke Butler comments: "It was interesting to me because I am interested in sports, and it was cool to see how 100 years ago there was a healthy sporting community in Moncton. Another little interesting side note is that under the football section it mentions “Mt Alison university”. So, there are many cool connections in this sports column."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Henry Ford And Bluenose Compete Again After A Lengthy Controversy”, The Moncton transcript, Oct 25, 1922, p. 1. Luke Butler comments: "This headline caught my attention because the bluenose is a famous piece of Canadian history, and the story was right here in the news! It is a significant piece of Canadian history, but the description of the race was also enthralling."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Aspirin advertisement, The Moncton transcript, Oct 24, 1922, p. 4. Luke Butler comments: "I chose this advertisement because it was cool to see an advertisement for Aspirin. There are not nearly as many advertisements for medical drugs now, or at least I have not encountered many advertisements for medical drugs. So, to see a brand trying to stand apart, while also listing the general uses of Aspirin is quite interesting."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Wampole’s Extract of Cod Liver” The Daily Times (Moncton), October 14, 1922, p. 7. Lucas Sivitilli comments: "When we think of cough medicine, or medicine in general we don’t typically think of cod liver extracts. I thought it was interesting evidence of how medicines and treatments have changed throughout history."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Fort Beausejour/Cumberland’s preservation, The Daily Times (Moncton), October 13, 1922, p. 3. Lucas Sivitilli comments: "Having learned about the history of Fort Beausejour in this class, I found it very intriguing to see such an important part of its history in the paper. Its also pretty interesting, because people reading this newspaper are also learning about the history of the fort and its significance. People learning about the same things we do in different time periods is something we don’t think about too often."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Why Babies Cry” The Daily Times (Moncton), October, 12, 1922, p. 5. Lucas Sivitilli comments: "What set this advertisement apart from others was the header that drew me, and likely many Moncton residents in 1922 in. I could definitely see somebody seeing this and being convinced to purchase this product. Overall, it is an interesting way to see how advertising tactics have evolved throughout the years."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Capitol Theater: “Blood and Sand” The Daily Times (Moncton), October, 11. 1922, p. 8. Lucas Sivitilli comments: "Seeing the Capitol Theatre in the paper was pretty interesting, because it is something that still remains in the city of Moncton to this day. I also found it interesting that they highlighted this actor who I have never heard of, but after a little research on him, I discovered he was Italian, and being of Italian descent, this was a cool discovery."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Englehart Fire, The Daily Times (Moncton), October, 10, 1922, p. 1. Lucas Sivitilli comments: "I found it interesting to learn the specifics about an incident such as this that not many people know of. The story about Billy Weeks really caught my eye with headers describing the injuries he suffered while still helping those around him escape the fire." This is part of a project in the Crandall University course, The History of Here. #Moncton #MonctonHistory #ThisWeekInHistory #NewBrunswick #NewBrunswickHistory
Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Macdonalds Cigarettes Advertisement, The Daily Times (Moncton), October, 9, 1922, p. 2. Lucas Sivitilli comments: "The page this advertisement was on was really bland, so when I saw the large font, and detailed cigarette box, it caught my eye. I found it interesting to see an advertisement from 100 years ago, especially the fact that its actually a little similar to today’s newspaper ads. Another thing that caught my eye was the price of 15 cents. It really shows just how much prices have increased over the years as todays packs of cigarettes cost anywhere from $5-10."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago Studebaker car advertisement, The Daily Times, September 19, 2022 Simeon Willis comments, "The fact that you could have bought a new car for under $1800 boggles the mind. Not only that but the car only had 40 HP in the base model. There are lawnmowers with more HP than nowadays."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Moncton’s New Theatre: The Capitol,” Daily Times Moncton, Oct. 6, 1922, p.8. Zach Harris comments: This is a neat ad as it concerns the origins of a building that is still in use today, playing the same role in the community today that it did 100 years ago, entertaining the people of Moncton and the surrounding areas. On the Capitol Theatre website history page, it shows that the theatre was put up for sale in the 1980s but was restored to a theatre in the 1990s. This shows not only the effect a building can have in providing a place of entertainment but also the agency people have in changing their city to fit wants and needs and how some need and wants are timeless.

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago "British Mobilizing Every Available Warship and Man Within Reach of Near East," The Daily Times, September 21, 1922, p. 1 Simeon Willis observes that the front-page news of the Daily Times has been preoccupied all of 1922 with what we now call the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922). "All this international news while still being able to report on local news is quite impressive."

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Rotary Club Hears Address on Fire Prevention,” Daily Times Moncton, Oct. 4, 1922, p.5. Zach Harris comments: This article is representative of a theme throughout the week as it was fire awareness week through Oct. 3-7, every paper had an advertisement by the Fire Prevention Board, stories involving fires both forest and house, and stories like this one that talked of the importance of fire safety. All these articles had a message and rhetoric that seems strange when viewed from a modern understanding of fire safety, with one referencing the book of Deuteronomy of the Old Testament.

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Twenty-Five Years Ago,” Daily Times Moncton, Oct. 7, 1922, p.4. Zach Harris comments: This is article shows how three historical perspectives are being represented; the initial construction being reported on in 1897 and the intended goal, the reporting on 25 years later where presumably the goals have been realized and are benefited from, and the present 2022 where we can recognize more of the effects that the drainage system such as this had on the environmental history of the area.

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “The Flying Age,” Daily Times Moncton, Oct. 3, 1922, p.4. Zach Harris comments: This article is interesting as it shows the pasts hopes or predictions for the future based on the world around them at that time. With our present perspectives it seems strange, making one wonder if whether our own predictions of the future will be accurate or not.

Moncton Newspapers 100 Years Ago “Duck Shooting,” Daily Times Moncton, Oct. 3, 1922, p.8. Zach Harris comments: This article is an example of one of the factors that contributed to there being a lesser waterfowl population in the Tantramar Marshes today, with change possibly already being felt 100 years ago, as there are less ducks, and they are changing their behavior to entering the marshes at night in order to avoid the hunters.
