This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 3 has an article headed: "THE THREE CROESUSES" "Manhattan's Great Millionaires and Their Peculiarities" "Astor, the Hoarder's, and Vanderbilt, the Financial Genius" "Character of Stewart, the Colossal Storekeeper" and more. (see) Text takes up over 1 1/2 months.
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, minor irregularity along spine, very nice condition.
