The sport's section (page 32) has a banner headline: "Great Stretch Drive Gives Horton Smith First Prize in Masters' Tourney" with subheads, photo and scores. First report coverage on Horton Smith winning the 1936 Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 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. Nice condition.
