   From: ki7ll@centurytel.net   
      
   I have come across about 30 pounds of  Chicago Tribune Headline pages and   
   front page sections with all headlines from WWII.   
   Some of the headline pages read,   
   * Great War Ends *Atom-Bomb Nagasaki *Russ invade Manchuria *Japs Bare Atom   
   Havoc (They're inhuman Tokyo Wails.*New Weapon Stuns Enemy.*Big push for   
   Rhine is on.*Roosevelt Burial Today.*9,752 Yanks Fall On Saipan.*Reds Push   
   Closer To Minsk.*FDR Wins 34 States, Japan ripped by atom bomb.   
   And several headlines on the European theatre.   
   There are many many headline pages saved together with day by day accounts   
   of progress in Europe and the pacific. There are also a couple of old   
   Arizona Republic newspapers from 1925 and also several issues of Country   
   Gentleman farm magazine from 1923 to 1925 and also Southwest Stockman Farmer   
   magazine from the same era 1920's.   
   I don't suppose these things are worth too much as most are browned but in   
   good shape, the Country Gentleman mags are still white. Different type of   
   paper ?   
   Can anyone direct me to where I might sell or trade these if they are worth   
   anything ?  I would hate to take them to the dump as it would seem they   
   could have some memorabilia value to someone.   
   And thank to all who take a look at this post.......   Jim
