The lists of the newest fashionable goods were detailed at length in advertisements, not only promoting novelties, but also giving the consumer an idea about the status and layout of the shops, usually located in the main streets of a town.3 This article will offer a different perspective by investigating advertisements placed by ready-made clothing retailers, in two provincial newspapers. Ready-made clothing retailers, also known as clothes dealers and salesmen, were associated with low-status, cheap, functional clothing. Some also dealt in second-hand clothing and often took goods in exchange to facilitate transactions.4 By examining to whom ready-made clothing sellers directed their advertisements, insights into the readership of the newspapers can be gained. This article will suggest that such provincial county newspapers had an ordinary working-class readership during the first half of the nineteenth century, as they appear to have been the target of clothing advertisements by ready-made clothing retailers. In addition, the advertisements reveal hitherto unknown local businesses, particularly manufacturing concerns, which the newspaper helped to promote, and in doing so, fostered a local trade identity.","PeriodicalId":299529,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Regional and Local Studies","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128883664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His complaint stands largely unanswered almost twenty years on, and the problems he identifies remain largely untackled. London's local history in general is under-researched, and newspapers are just one aspect of this; although some individual local studies have emerged since 1990 London local newspaper research has not kept up with the advances in other areas of newspaper history. Brake, Bell and Finkelstein's NineteenthCentury Media and the Construction of Identities (2000) discusses a wide variety of issues of personal, group, national and political identity, and they argue strongly for the interesting and appealing idea of a periodical text as a 'site for competing voices'.2 However, the volume still gives very little space to the idea of place identity on a small scale. In fact, Harris's arguments for the London local press are merely an extreme case for regional, provincial and local newspapers in general. The huge number of different titles, the difficulty of tracing related sources and the physical and temporal drawbacks of studying long print-runs make local newspaper research a sometimes daunting proposition. Yet local newspapers are often not merely the best available source for local history and community identity, but the only available source.","PeriodicalId":299529,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Regional and Local Studies","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128713306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
