August Anheuser Busch Sr. death... beer magnate...



Item # 639021

February 14, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 14, 1934

* August Anheuser Busch Sr. suicide death
* American brewery president and CEO


The top of page 9 has a one column heading: "AUGUST BUSCH ENDS LIFE WITH PISTOL" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the suicide death of August Anheuser Busch Sr., American brewing magnate in St. Louis, Missouri. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 42 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.
