* Brooklyn theater fire
This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "THE FIERY PIT" "Sickening Details of the Holocaust in Brooklyn" "The Unfortunate Victims Burned Beyond Recognition" "Three Hundred and Fifty Known to Have Perished" and more. (see) Text takes up over 2 full columns.
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, minor irregularity along the spine, very nice condition.
