THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 18, 1934
* Nome, Alaska fire disaster
* Norton Sound, Bering Sea
The front page has a one column heading: "FLAMES RAZE NOME; ALL ARE HOMELESS" with subheads. (see) First report coverage on the fire disaster at this famous gold mining city.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 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.
