This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "Wrecked By The Wind" "The Lower Portion of South Carolina Tornado Torn" "Fifteen Persons Killed in the Village of Waterboro" and more. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 8 pages, nice condition.
