March 22, 1933
THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 22, 1933
* Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) founded
* President Franklin D. Roosevelt
* Work relief program - New Deal
The front page has a three column headline: "ROOSEVELT ASKS CONGRESS TO MAKE WORK FOR 250,000" with subheads. (see) Lengthy text continues inside with Roosevelt's message. First report coverage on the founding of the Civilian Conservation Corps, a public work relief program which was part of the New Deal. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 38 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.
