Ads from Tímarit Þjóðræknisfélags Íslendinga

An image of two pages of ads from a magazine in black and white. On the left-hand page there are four ads featuring Icelandic language text and one with an illustration of a woman wearing a hat. On the right-hand page there are two larger ads. Both feature Icelandic language text and the lower of the two has an illustration of a vehicle from the 1920s.

A two page spread of ads for both Icelandic and non-Icelandic owned businesses from the 1920 issue of Tímarit Þjóðræknisfélags Íslendinga. Many Icelandic language publications in Manitoba depended on ad revenue to support operations. The ads for non-Icelandic owned business were presumably translated by the publication’s editors or other staff.
