The front page has one column headings that include: "GIRL, 10, KIDNAPPED IN CAPE COD TOWN" "Margaret McMath of Wealthy Detroit Family Abducted at Harwich School"
"Man Posed As Chauffeur"
and more. (see) Lengthy text continues inside. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 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.
