Default Hundreds of CP/Parker gun historical ads, etc. now easily searchable online

Thought I'd let the group know about this somewhat new searchable database of historical newspapers across America. Was tipped about this by a librarian. In the link below, apparently 4307 results of Parker gun advertisements in newspapers from Opelousas, Louisiana to Honolulu on the first results page alone!

if you go back up a level- you can search any term/name - might be a good source for some searching family history as well
