I only include ads if they come out intact from the copying process and they are needed to fill up a page. (I try for uniformity of size for appearance’s sake.) I will make an exception if a particular ad catches my fancy or I think it has historical relevance. If I have to copy entire newspaper pages in order to capture a particular story there will likely be some ads along with the text. That is how most of the filler articles survive, too by the way. For today’s issue I would guess that the stories’ continuation on the inside pages was compact or short enough that it only took one copy to get the whole thing, or there just weren’t any ads adjacent the article.
Maybe I should show a few before and after shots of the original news page so readers can see how I transform the original to fit my template.
I love your articles - thanks for all of the work you put into them. And the other articles and ads are also interesting.
I was showing my kids (studying History) all of the pages devoted to the War - EVERY day. They were amazed. And then showing them the maps, articles fighting in Europe, Soviet Union, Japan, Africa, near New Zealand... and even Alaska. heck - it is amazing to me too!

NOOO! You do enough keeping this outstanding series going.
I was just curious as I look forward to seeing Dinty Moore’s telling us they doesn’t sell canned stew.
