I found these old newspapers, dated 1956 (the year that I was born! - oh, my, now you know my age!). The two editions here are the Sin Chew Jit Poh and the Nan Ann Wan Pao, both 1956. My late mother had used these and many others to wrap fragileware. I imagine her 50 years ago - squatting, strong hands pulling tight on the newspapers, smoothing out excess bulges, then tucking in the corners securely. It never fails to bring forth moist eyes.
