THE NEW YORK TIMES, January 9, 1941

* Robert Baden-Powell death
* Boy Scouts leader
* Scouting movement


Page 10 has a one column heading: "BADEN-POWELL DIES; BOY SCOUTS' HEAD" with subheads and nice photo. (see) First report coverage on the death of Boy Scouts pioneer, Robert Baden-Powell. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 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.
