Hello Steemians!
I have been enjoying old news articles for awhile now and thought this would be a great place to share some. I find the contrast between the modern age and the past to be entertaining and educational. I haven't seen much like this being posted here so I thought it could be a good addition to an already great Steem community. Most of my blog posts will be about "old news" because I want to keep it focused for convenience of readers/followers (if I get any:) but I will be following and replying to other blogs and topics I am interested in.
With no further adieu I would like to present my first Old News article!
The Neck Wringer
This article and illustrations are from a 1896 newspaper.
I mean hey it was better than the "skull crusher" I guess! and look at the innovation, it folds back into a stretcher to roll em right out.
Thanks for reading and I am still learning how to format these posts so they will get better. If you have any comments or suggestions please reply! article 2 is on its way soon, it covers some old ads :)

I like writing/posting about several topics that call my attention, from travel, life to science and technology.

Did a disgruntled chicken design this device? XD
Lol Must have! I liked the line about "the body can be delivered to relatives differing little from natural condition of death"
Cruel happiness... or what is this joy I am feeling reading the good ol' news!
Some of these old articles are entertaining in very odd ways. I have some old ads for next post and they make me laugh with wild claims and outlook. I checked out your profile and saw you were writing about crypto which I like to stay informed about so gave you a follow.
