THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 28, 1946

* Saudi Arabia oil boom

The top of page 2 has one column headings: "U.S. OIL TOWNS DOT SAUDI ARABIAN SOIL" "Record Boom Is Forecast--Potential Is Estimated to Exceed Our Own Reserves"
with smaller subheads (see photos). I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 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.
