shitty timing

We found a wee treasure behind the baseboard of the old house. It is a tea company advertisement for "Beacon Tea Company" based out of Boston. I wish I could date the thing, but with the political uproar in the States right now, a quick search for "Beacon Tea" just brings up all sorts of racist, right-wing garbage (or articles mocking it, like this.)

So this is the cute placard showcasing nifty period clothing. When was tea 20 cents a pound? Now, that may be something to work with.
