THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 24, 1931

* Malvern, Chester County, Pennsylvania
* Fire Company - firefighters disaster - deaths
* 1930 American-LaFrance pumper fire truck


Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "Five Firemen Killed, 11 Hurt in Engine Upset; Malvern (Pa.) Victim's Father Dies of Shock" (see) First report coverage on the Malvern Fire Company disaster in Pennsylvania. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
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.
