THE NEW YORK TIMES, Nov. 9, 1929
* Stock Market Crash of 1929
* Wall Street anxiety continues
* Best title to have in
The stock market crash of 1929 did much to define America for the next decade, resulting in the Great Depression and all the trauma relating to it. It seemed common for many newspapers to put a positive spin on the on-going tragedy, so front page reports often conflicted with the reality of the time.
Given that the stock exchange is in New York City, the "Times" remains one of the most desired of all newspapers on the crash.
A front page report is headed: "3-Hour Market Sessions For Next Week Ordered; Trading Back To Normal" with subheads including: "Prices Decline Slightly" "Many Issues Advance, but General Level Is Lower" "Selling Pressure Absent" "Bankers See Stability" and more (see). And the many pages within provide a fascinating glimpse of life during those tumultuous weeks.
Complete in 40 pages, a little margin wear, generally good.
