The top of the front page has a four column headline: "PRESIDENT-ELECT OBREGON ASSASSINATED AT LUNCHEON CELEBRATING HIS ELECTION; MEXICO CITY IS SWEPT BY GRIEF AND RAGE" with subheads and photo. (see) First report coverage on the assassination of General Alvaro Obregon, president of Mexico. Much more on pages 2 & 3 with two more photos. Loads of text.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 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 and some residue along the spine from disbinding, nice condition.
