THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 8, 1936

* Dust Bowl - agriculture drought - heat wave
* President Franklin D. Roosevelt relief on the way ?


The top of the front page has a three column headline: "RELIEF TO 134,000 FAMILIES PLANNED FOR DROUGHT AREA; ROOSEVELT TO VISIT REGION" with subheads. (see) Loads of text continues inside with related photo.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 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.
