News of the Times Short #84 | 1779
The Story of: A Caution to Wearers of East India Handkerchiefs
This story  is a reminder that some things never change.  In essence, in time for holiday shopping, British goods are being seen to be undercut by goods through The East India Company.  The governement response is to ban anyone from buying or selling products not made in England.

To our American friends - this is not much different to the restrictions of what goods could be bought from whom in The American Colonies during this general time period causing understandable resentment.

Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time.  We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day.  

We also sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint.  Jack the Ripper Stories, at the time known as The Whitechapel Murders, is one example.
