The New York Times on strike...



Item # 575164

September 18, 1923

THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 18, 1923 

* This famous publication on strike

A curious issue, as each page has in blue ink near the top what looks like a rubber stamp message: "Owing to a strike of the newspaper pressmen on September 18th this issue of the New York Times was not published until two weeks later when a few copies were run off for purposes of record only. There was no general distribution even at this later date."

This message appears near the top of every right hand page (odd numbered) throughout the 44 page issue. Because it was over-printed on the existing reports and ads, some of these message are more easily read than others.

Complete with 44 pages, 15 1/2 by 21 inches, even toning, some minor tears and chipping at the margins, but otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care.
