The top of the front page has a two column heading: "British Submarine Fails to Rise; Fifty-four Men on M-2 in Channel" with subhead. Coverage continues on page 3 with photo.
Page 21 has a one column heading: "WILLIAM WRIGLEY DIES AT AGE OF 70" with subheads with photo. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 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.
