NEW YORK TIMES, June 25, 1921
* The Osage Nation, Oklahoma
* Richest per-capita in the world
* Black Gold - aka, OIL!
Page three has the one column heading: "OSAGE ARE RICHEST PEOPLE", with the subhead: "Greatest Per Capita Wealth in World Results From Oil Deal.", followed by details taking 2 small paragraphs.
Note: If you think this was good for the Osage Nation, read "Killers of the Flower Moon", by David Grann. Perhaps this announcement, which appeared in newspapers throughout the U.S., was what triggered one of the greatest (albeit under-the-radar) American travesties of the 20th century.
Other news of the day includes articles regarding Jack Dempsey's birthday, the health of President Harding. Yale's crew team defeating Harvard's - with considerable details of the race as well as the history of the race, and more. See images for details.
Complete in 32 pages, light toning at the margins, a little irregular along the spine, generally good.
