THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, July 23, 1929 

* The Purple Gang - gangsters
* Criminal mob of bootleggers
* Prohibition era in Detroit
* Humorous photo & headline linked

The front page has a banner headline: "4 ALLEGED PURPLE GANGSTERS GO ON TRIAL TODAY AS RUM PLOTTERS" with subheads. (see images) A photo of 4 young boys, two of them being boy scouts is directly underneath this headline. This is totally unrelated to the Purple Gang report. A great example to editors everywhere to be aware of headlines & photos which appear in close proximity.
Complete with 32 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, generally in good condition and nice for display.
