May 24, 1937

THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 24, 1937.
 
* John D. Rockefeller death (1st report)
* Oil tycoon & philanthropist

The front page has a two column headline: "JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER DIES AT 97 IN HIS FLORIDA HOME; FUNERAL TO BE HELD HERE" with many subheads. Much more on pages 8,9 & 10 with full page pictorial. Nice to have in this famous NYC title.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 40 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. Very nice condition.
