Internet commerce is still a very new thing. People still prefer to make their heritage purchases in traditional ways. In this case, internet purchases of War of 1812 items only cover a very small fraction of the costs. This site is a labour of love for us but we cannot continue to pay for it much longer without assistance from you the reader. Consider this site like a magazine.
Magazines keep going by paid subscriptions and advertisment.
Up to now we have avoided this. With reluctance we have now opened our site to heritage advertisements. However, we feel this will be a positive development and be of interest to you. But I have already helped. Thank you for your assistance.
