Spotting old books and magazines and dummy newspapers in TV, movies and old photos

[Extollager]

The missus and I recently watched the Broderick Crawford version of All the King's Men, which was pretty good. A must, though, if you like seeing newspaper headlines in movies.

Not quite the same thing, but I thought this sign above a container of paper towels was interesting. Depression era frugality?

I'll bet you're right! Good eye! Hard to tell, since every issue has a boat on the cover.

From Mystery of Marie Roget (1942)

La Gazette de Paris has an edition in English, it seems.

"Liquid Gas Discovery" is different, at least.
