At Least It's Neat...



I was shocked to see the casual and seemingly extraneous use of a swastika in an ad for the Orcadian printing office, especially in 1939. "Maybe people were not too bothered by it before the Second World War started", I mused.

Wrong...


Those pesky type-setting machines, getting all 'creative' and embarrassing their human overlords!
