* President Herbert Hoover


The front page has a three column headline: "PRESIDENT SIGNS $1,118,500,000 TAX BILL; SEES FINANCES NOW ON A 'SOUND BASIS'; DAWES QUITS THE RECONSTRUCTION BOARD" with subheads. First report coverage on the Revenue Act of 1932 signing by President Herbert Hoover. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 42 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.
