THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 21, 1939
* Pro-Nazi rally - Madison Square Garden
* German American Bund - Fritz Kuhn
The front page has one column headings that include: "22,000 NAZIS HOLD RALLY IN GARDEN; POLICE CHECK FOES" "Record Detail of 1,700 Cuts Off the Area to Protesters--Thousands in Vicinity"
"Scuffles Occur Outside" and more. (see) Lengthy text continues on page 5 with three related photos. Too much text to photograph all here. 1st report coverage on the pro-Nazi rally by the German-American Bund at Madison Square Garden in New York City. How could something like this take place in our own backyard ? Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication, especially on this topic.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 42 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.
