Found interesting Primary Sources and experienced some mild frustration

I found some pretty neat primary source documents in the Baltimore Sun Archives on Proquest provided from the Langsdale Library. Some of them were ads for National Bohemian Beer (Natty Boh) and Gunther's Beer ranging from the 1890's to the 1930's. I had no idea that Gunther's beer was a beer that Baltimore produced. The other documents were articles about the American Brewing Company ranging once again from the 1890's to the 1930's. If I remember correctly one of the articles discussed price cuts in the in the late 1930's due to the depression. This was interesting and I am really frustrated because I emailed all these documents to myself and I cannot view them at home. I would have loved to post them all in this blog, especially the ads, but for some reason I cannot log into the Libraries Datebase from home. My pass code must have expired... Next monday I will be sure to post these ads with of course the proper citations. I also found some pretty good information of the American Brewing Company from the Web.
