It is very rare to see the word "slave" used in a runaway ad, and great to have on the ftpg. of Washington paper.
There are two rather large print creases on page 2 which do not affect the mentioned content. (see photos) Also, there is some lite foxing on the back page. This issue is complete in 4 pages and is in good condition.
