CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, March 3, 1930
* Prohibition era alcohol in gangland Chicago
* Wets vs. Drys and the rise in divorces
* Al "Scarface" Capone era
The front page has a banner headline: "WET REVOLT ALARMS DRYS" with subheads. (see) Coverage on the divorce rate being much higher in Chicago than the rest of the country. This was due to the higher use of illegal alcohol there. In comparison, today's Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country but is riddled with gun crimes including murder. The 2nd and 21st Amendments must be kept in American law. 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.
Complete with 40 pages, rag edition in very nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
