Here is the classified ad clipped from that issue, putting the Spiers
business up for sale(!):

I found it via newspapers.com, which has the Manchester Guardian as well
as thousands of other newspapers. I have used it extensively in
documenting the Black & Decker Workmate. For just one example, see some
of the clippings I collected about Ron Hickman's original Workmate:

decker
They have various rates, including specials every so often. My first
subscription in 1921 was 1 month for $20. In 2022 I got 6 months for
$55, and then this past November I got 6 months for $50, both as
discount offers.
A great deal of the info that I posted here a few weeks ago about the
publication date of the Practical Woodworker came from newspapers.com.
