Wallis Warfield Simpson asks for divorce......



Item # 694165

October 15, 1936

CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, October 15, 1936
 
* Wallis Simpson , Duchess of Windsor
* Asks Ernest Aldrich Simpson for divorce

* Duke of Windsor (King Edward VIII)

The front page has six column heading: "Mrs. Simpson, Friend of King, Seeks Divorce" with subheads. (see) First report coverage continues on page 3 with related pictorial. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
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. Nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine.
