THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 14, 1932 

* Coney Island, Brooklyn fire disaster 
* Dreamland amusement park and boardwalk
 

This 40 page newspaper has a three column headline on the front page: "$5,000,000 BLAZE SWEEPS CONEY ISLAND; FOUR BLOCKS ON BOARDWALK DESTROYED; HUGE CROWDS WATCH SIX-HOUR BATTLE" with many subheads (see photos). Much more on page 3 with related photos.  Loads of text, too much to photograph all here.1st report coverage on the Coney Island fire disaster of 1932. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Rag edition in very nice condition.
