1933 Bank Holiday Ordered...
THE NEW YORK TIMES newspaper dated March 6, 1933. This issue has a very historic, two line banner headline: "ROOSEVELT ORDERS 4-DAY BANK HOLIDAY, PUTS EMBARGO ON GOLD, CALLS CONGRESS" with the Proclamation printed in full on the front page. This action would have the desired effect of stopping the panic run on the nation's banks, and happened the day after F.D.R. was inaugurated. Rag edition in great condition. One of the more historic issues from the Depression-era, and great to have in this famous title.
