THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 7, 1936
* Gainesville, Georgia
* Tupelo, Mississippi
* Tornadoes disaster
The front page has a two column headline: "300 KILLED BY TORNADOES OVER WIDE AREA IN SOUTH; PROPERTY DAMAGE HEAVY" with subheads. (see) Much more inside with related photos. Lengthy text. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 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.
