August 24, 1935
THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 24, 1935

* Rashid Rida death (1st report)
* Early Islamic reformer - Islamist
* Salafi movement - Islamic Modernism


The top of page 15 has a one photo with heading: "RASHID RIDA DIES; A MOSLEM LEADER" with subheads. (see) 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 30 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.
