Owego NY 1905 Daily Record Newspaper
w/ Railroad Schedules, Local News, Ads
Offered here is the antique 116-year-old newspaper shown, offering local news and many interesting historic ads,
As was the custom of the era, almost all of the local news was presented in one-paragraph items about who visited who, etc.
The many ads give a view of the area, it's stores and people the way a history book can't, this newspaper being an actual piece of the distant past. It captured a snapshot of a very specific time and what was making news in the town then.
The paper cost 2 cents.
This four-page newspaper is a broadsheet, the front page measuring roughly 20x24". The newspaper will come to you quarter folded as found.
Please excuse my photography. My camera is just not up to capturing the small detail here. Rest assured the original is clear. The paper is a light tan, not black and white as represented in some of the photos.
There's a ton of historic info here. Have fun showing it to friends, or give it to a local history fan as a unique gift.
