1918 Oakdale, Pennsylvania... Chemical plant TNT dynamite explosion...



Item # 700365

May 18, 1918

EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, May 18, 1918

* Oakdale PA Pennsylvania explosion
* Aetna Chemical Company disaster
* World War I - WWI reporting


The front page has a banner headline: "SCORES KILLED IN EXPLOSION" with subhead. (see images) Nice for display. Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper. Rare as such.
Complete with 14 pages, small library stamp within the masthead, small stain and tiny hole from a library label being removed, generally nice.
