THE NEW YORK TIMES, October 20, 1931.
* Inventor Thomas Edison death
The top of the front page has a two column heading: "10,000 Mourners Pass Edison's Bier in Day; Nations Plans Tribute at Burial Tomorrow" Much more on page 3 with more headlings and two related photos. Lengthy text here. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 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. Minor spine wear, very nice condition.
