THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 31, 1932
* 1932 Summer Olympics
* Los Angeles, California opening
* Great Depression era
The top of the front page has a two column heading: "Curtis Formally Opens Olympic Games; 100,000 View the Parade of 39 Nations" (see) Much more in the sport's section with a few related photos.
Other news, sports and advertisement of the day. Complete in a thick 80+ page Sunday edition, 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. Some spine residue from disbinding, nice condition.
