THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 26, 1931

Page 27 has a one column heading: "EX. GOV. ALF TAYLOR OF TENNESSEE DEAD" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Alfred A. Taylor, best known for his "War of the Roses" campaign against his brother for governor of Tennessee. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 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. Minor creasing, nice condition.
