THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 6, 1936

* Tupelo, Mississippi
* Tornado disaster (1st report)


The top of the front page has a two column headline: "Many Reported Dead in Tornado; Tupelo, Miss., TVA City, Wrecked" with subhead. (see) 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.
