THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 30, 1932.

The front page has a three column headline: "BONUS STRAGGLERS 'MOPPED UP' BY TROOPS; 36 REDS SEIZED; GRAND JURY INQUIRY ON; HOOVER DENOUNCES ATTEMPT AT MOB RULE" with subheads. Much more inside with full page pictorial.
Also on the front is a one column heading: "CURTIS TODAY OPENS THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN COLORFUL SCENE" with subheads. (see) Much more in the sport's section (page 10) with two related photos. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 28 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.
