CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, April 29, 1926

* Early Al "Scarface" Capone (Caponi)

The top of the front page has a nice banner headline: "HUNT RUM BOSS AS ASSASSIN" with subheads. Some related photos are on the back page.
When it comes to gangsters, organized crime, and the nefarious activities born out of the Prohibition and Great Depression eras, no city is more in the forefront of our minds than Chicago - and what better newspaper can be found than the Chicago Tribune, self-proclaimed to be "The World's Greatest Newspaper" - attributed in part to its dramatic, banner headlines! Whether hanging on your wall or part of an ongoing collection, these events are sure to capture the flavor of this infamous period in American history.
Complete with 40 pages, light toning and some wear at the margins, should be handled with care.
