These days it's not the Farm Room that's sucking up all my blogging time; it's the usual springtime yard/garden work. So in honor of that endless chore, here's a couple of springtime gardening-related ads from the Hobart Gazette of April 10, 1952.
First, from the Hobart Coal & Feed Store, formerly known as the Lake County Co-Op:

Secondly, an ad for a business I'd never heard of before, in a location where I'm surprised there was room for a business:
$134 in 1952 dollars would be about $1,532 today — a comparatively high price for a little garden rototiller. Especially one with an exposed drive mechanism that's just waiting to catch somebody's fingers.
At that price and that dangerous, makes me wonder how many they sold.
