Today is one of my schoolfriends birthdays. When I was writing a birthday message on her Facebook timeline I noticed among the images on her page a clipping from an Australian Women's Weekly in 1958. One of the family members had commented that she wished the family had a better copy of the article that featured my friend, her four sisters and their Mum.
I wondered if they knew of Trove and if the quality of the image available there was better than what the family had. I first tried a search to find the advertisement but drew a a blank. As I had the date of the publication I then browsed through the pages (and had a meander down memory lane) until I found on Page 51 the advertisement I was looking for. The quality of the online article is so much clearer than that which my friend has.
I've now added some tags so that anyone searching for the family will be able to find this article.
Happy Birthday Lee.
