How were products advertised in newspapers in 1947? 
Biscuit manufacturer Parle-Gluco wished its consumers prosperity in âthis new year of freedomâ in an advertisement in 1947. The advertisement for Indian Military Academy in Dehradun invited applications from 'British subject of Indian domicile or descent', which was changed after India attained freedom. Reynolds in its advertisement claimed that its ball pen could go for 15 years without a refill.
