Cycling Advertisement for work
Mr. P. J. Archer of 321 Lordship Lane, Dulwich, has been out of work so long he thought it high time to do something about it.
So a day or two ago he wrote or painted out this advertisement and rode round the streets with it on his bicycle.
He is delighted with the results, for already he has been given several odd jobs - people having seen them from their cars, turning round, and caught up with him.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a unique moment in history, showcasing the resourcefulness and determination of Mr. P. J. Archer during the 1930s. In an era marked by economic hardship, Mr. Archer took matters into his own hands to find employment with a clever cycling advertisement. The image portrays Mr. Archer proudly riding his bicycle through the streets of Dulwich, London, displaying a hand-painted sign that reads "Cycling Advertisement for work". His hat firmly on his head and a determined expression on his face, he navigates the road with confidence. The caption reveals that this creative approach has already yielded positive results for Mr. Archer as several individuals have offered him odd jobs after spotting his advertisement from their cars and catching up with him later on. This photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of human resilience in times of adversity. It showcases how people like Mr. Archer were willing to go above and beyond traditional methods to secure employment during challenging times. As we reflect upon this memory lane snapshot from 1930s England, it is impossible not to feel inspired by Mr. Archer's ingenuity and determination to make ends meet using nothing more than his trusty bicycle and some paintbrushes.
