FITCHBURG SENTINEL--EXTRA, Massachusetts, Nov. 8, 1932 

* Franklin D. Roosevelt 1st election
* FDR inherits a troubled economy

* Nice front page headline for display


A rather uncommon same-day report on the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency with the banner headline: "ROOSEVELT VICTORY INDICATED" with related subheads on the election.
This was a bit of a risky report as other elections were met with presumptive headlines only to be proven wrong (think "Dewey Defeats Truman". But this one was correct, being the first of FDR's four election wins.
Complete in twelve pages, very nice, clean condition.
