The front page has a two column headline: "700 SLAIN, 1,300 WOUNDED BY BOMBINGS IN CANTON; JAPAN IGNORES PROTESTS" with subheads. (see)
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 48 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. Very nice condition.
