The front page has a five column headline: "CHURCHILL ASSAILS SOVIET POLICY" with subheads and related photo. (see) First report coverage of Winston Churchill giving his famous "Iron Curtain' speech in Fulton, Missouri. Complete text of Churchill's speech on page 4 with two more related photo. Lengthy coverage here. Great to have in this famous NYC title.
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. Close cut along the right margin does not affect readability, nice condition.
