Babe Ruth's 40th birthday w/ photo....



Item # 637176

February 08, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 8, 1934

* Babe Ruth turns 40 years old
* New York Yankees star


The sport's section (page 25) has a two column heading: "Ruth, at 40, Has Quiet Birthday; Deluged With Congratulations" with subhead and photo. (see) Probably found in NYC publications, rare as such.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 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.
