Item # 699328
October 26, 1929
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, October 26, 1929 The stock market crash of 1929 did much to define America for the next decade, resulting in the Great Depression and all the trauma relating to it. It seemed common for many newspapers to put a positive spin on the on-going tragedy, so front page reports often conflicted with the reality of the time.
Terrific--and rarely found--to have an issue of the Wall St. Journal from this era. Typical of its format the headlines are just one-column wide. The front page has: "Stock Support Plan Charted" "Six Institutions Form Pool to Prevent Needless Sacrifice of Values" "Large Reserves Unused" "Hoover Asserts Business Sounds" "Points Out Steadiness of Commodity Prices as Proof of No Speculation" and more.
Complete in 18 pages, sold older archival mends near the bottom, various small margin tears with some mild flaking at the bottom margin.
