CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Oct. 14, 1926

* re. Hymie Weiss assassination & gangland wars
* Chicago Polish mobster - bootlegger - racketeer
* North Side Gang leader - gangster
* Rival of Al 'Scarface' Capone
* Best publication to be had - very rare !

The top of the front page has a nice banner headline: "OPEN WAR TO FINISH ON GANGS" with subheads. (see) A few 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.
Forty-six pages, some margin wear and chipping but no text loss, still a nice item for display. Should be handled with care.
