December 07, 1933
THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 7, 1933.
* Prohibition comes to an end
* Beer returns - liquor
The front page has a two column headline announcing: "LIQUOR FOR HOMES SCARCE; SPEAKEASY RAIDS GO ON; INQUIRY ON PRICES LIKELY" with many subheads that include: "Crowds Besiege Stores" "Only 100,000 Get Bottles" and more. (see) Much more on page 19 with more headlines. (see) Loads of text, too much to photograph all. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
