THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 4, 1935

* The strongest U.S. hurricane hits the South
* The Labor Day Hurricane - tropical cyclone
* Sir Malcolm Campbell - new automobile speed record
* Over 301 MPH


The front page has a four column headline: "SEAS PREVENT RESCUE OF 351 ON DIXIE; CAPTAIN RADIOS THAT ALL IS WELL; 75 VETERANS REPORTED DEAD IN STORM" with many subheads. Considerable additional text continues on inside pages with a few related photos. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this world famous publication.
The front page also has: "CAMPBELL EXCEEDS GOAL AT 301 M.P.H.", with considerable details (2 articles) and a photo in the Sports Section.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 42 pages, a slightly rough left spine, even toning, but in overall very nice condition.
