NEW YORK TIMES, June 21, 1932.

The front page has one column headings: "MRS. PUTNAM HOME; GETS CITY'S HOMAGE" "Greeted Down Bay by Swooping Planes, Cheered by Throngs and Decorated by Mayor" and more. (see images) Coverage on page 3 with related photos. Lengthy text here.
Complete in 44 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. Very nice condition.
