September 22, 1927
PUBLIX OPINION, New York, September 22, 1927 An interesting pair of newspapers done in advance of the Gene Tunney - Jack Dempsey fight, ready to "hit the streets" regardless of who won. The text reads generically enough (but still with inaccuracies) to satisfy the average reader, or at least they thought. Perhaps they didn't really care.
Tunney was the winner of this controver... See More

PALESTINE DAILY HERALD, Texas, May 23, 1934 See the photo for the great banner headline on the death of the famed outlaw duo Bonnie & Clyde.

And great to have in a Texas newspaper, as they were killed near the Texas/Louisiana border.
