June 27, 1932
THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 27, 1932
* Francis D. Duffy death
* 69th Infantry Regiment
* Duffy Square - Times Square
The front page has a one column heading: "FATHER DUFFY DEAD; WON FAME IN WAR" with subheads. First report coverage on the death of Francis P. Duffy, Canadian American soldier, Roman Catholic priest and military chaplain. Probably only reported in NYC papers.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 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.
