THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 12, 1932

* The United States prohibition to end ?
* President Herbert Hoover admits failure
* President nomination address


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "HOOVER ADMITS FAILURE OF PROHIBITION, DECLARING FOR STATE CONTROL OF LIQUOR; WOULD BARTER WAR DEBTS IN TRADE DEAL" with subheads. (see) Complete text of Hoover's acceptance address inside with related photo. Loads of text here.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 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.
