Item # 637261

April 06, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, April 6, 1934

* Jiro Sato suicide death off ship
* Japanese tennis player


The top of the back page has a one column heading: "SATOH,TENNIS STAR, ENDS LIFE OFF SHIP" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on Japanese tennis star, Jiro Sato, suicide death in the Strait of Malacca. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 48 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.
