Dramatic announcement of the end of World War II...



Item # 683937

August 14, 1945

THE CALL BULLETIN, San Francisco, Aug. 14, 1945 

* World War II ends
* Japanese surrenders

* FRONT LEAF ONLY ****

The front page has one of the  more dramatic announcements of the end of World War II with a very large, bold banner headline dropped out of a black box: "WAR OVER ! " with a lead-in printed in red ink: "Truman Announces: ".
The subhead: "M'Arthur Named to Accept Surrender" with various other reports concerning the surrender of Japan to U.S. forces. A terrific issue for display.
Note: this is the front leaf only with just pages 1 and 2, nice condition.
