THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 31, 1943

* Lackawanna Limited railroad disaster
* Wayland NY New York train wreck
* World War II - WWII


The front page has a two column headline: "23 DIE IN COLLISION ON LACKAWANNA; LIMITED DERAILED" with subheads. (see) First report coverage continues inside with related photo. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 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. Nice condition.
