But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD FACTUAL REPORTING HISTORY. What a Rare Item!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was saved from this old American news magazine of many years ago. These two pages (8-1/2 by 12 inches) are the ORIGINAL 80-YEAR-OLD piece in excellent condition. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story saved from a rarely found and seldom read American news magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
