October 24, 1903
MEMPHIS MORNING NEWS, Tennessee, Oct. 24, 1903 The front page has an interesting article headed: "NEARLY A MILLION IMMIGRANTS IN 1903", followed by the subhead: "All Records Broken in the Number of Aliens Coming to the United States in Search of Homes and Fortunes...". The article discusses where they are coming from and talks about some of the requirements necessary for legal immigration. Other articles on the front page include: Many Out of Work", "Civil War Feared" (Austria vs. Hungary, "An English Anarchist Is Arrested While Addressing New York Crowd", "Game Ends in Fight", and more.
This would make an inexpensive but interesting period (atmosphere) piece for framing.
Complete in 10 pages, chipping at the margins, an archival mend on the front page, and VERY brittle. A folder is highly recommended.
