THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 4, 1928
* Edgar Fahs Smith death (1st report)
* American scientist - chemistry
* American Chemical Society
* University of Pennsylvania
The top of page 25 has a one column heading: "DR. EDGAR F. SMITH, NOTED CHEMIST, DIES" with subheads and related photo. (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 52 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. A few small binding slits along the spine, nice condition.
