August 25, 1928
THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 25, 1928
* 1928 Times Square station derailment
* IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line
* New York City subway accident
The front page has a nice banner headline: "13 DEAD, 100 HURT IN SUBWAY CRASH IN TIMES SQUARE; TWO CARS OF RUSH-HOUR I.R.T. EXPRESS JUMP FAULTY SWITCH; SUBWAY MAINTENANCE MAN ARRESTED, CHARGE IS HOMOCIDE" with many subheads and two related photos. Loads of text continues on the following pages. Great to have in this famous NYC title.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. A few binding slits along spine, very nice condition.
