The top of the front page has a three column headline: "PRESIDENT IN TALK TO NATION PROMISES TO EXPEDITE RELIEF; EMPHASIZES SOCIAL SECURITY" with subheads and complete text of Roosevelt's address on page 2. Lengthy text. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 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. Very nice condition.
