THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 1, 1935

* Quetta Earthquake (1st report)
* Baluchistan, British Raj (Pakistan)


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "20,000 DIE IN INDIAN QUAKE; WIDE AREA IS DEVASTATED; 43 BRITISH AIRMEN VICTIMS" with subheads and related map. More on page 3 with two related photos.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 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. Minor creasing, nice condition.
