Golfer Bobby Jones in 1930....



Item # 627509

July 03, 1930

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 3, 1930

* Bobby Jones welcome home
* British Open champion
* Broadway ticker tape parade


The front page has one column headings that include: "BOBBY JONES FINDS BROADWAY FAIRWAY" "Firecrackers and Ticker Tape Strew Route to City Hall--'Home Folks' Hail Champion" and more. (see) Much more on page 3 with related photos. 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. Nice condition.
