THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 13, 1935
* Melvin Purvis resigns
* John Dillinger's nemesis
* FBI agent - G-Men
The back page has one column headings: "PURVIS RESIGNS AS G-MAN LEADER" "Head of Chicago Bureau Says He Is Quitting for 'Purely Personal' Reasons" "NEMESIS OF DILLINGER" and more with photo of Purvis. (see) First report coverage on the resignation of famous G-Man head Melvin Purvis. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 28 page, 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.
