* Early aviation era original


The front page has one column headings that include: "ZEPPELIN IN TEXAS ON LAKEHURST TRIP; DODGES STORM AREA" "Due to End Flight Around the World late Today or Early Tomorrow" "Turns To Northern Route" and more. (see) Much more on page 10 with related map. (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 52 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.
