April 12, 1945
THE SIDNEY DAILY NEWS, Ohio, April 12, 1945 The banner headline announces: "YANKS CROSS ELBE IN FINAL DRIVE" but this is not the focus of the issue.
Many issues of this day--the day President Franklin D. Roosevelt died--put out an "Extra" edition with the report. This newspaper opted for a more unusual way of putting the news in front of their readers. They printed a small leaflet, printed on orange paper & glued to the top of the front page, headed: "ROOSEVELT DIES!" with the details and a photo of him taking up the balance of the 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheet, printed on one side only.
The issue is complete in 12 pages, and both the issue and the attached leaflet are in very nice condition.
A very unusual presentation.
