This is a special EXTRA edition of the Indianapolis Times newspaper dated Thursday, April 12, 1945. It announces the death of President Roosevelt from a brain hemorrhage. It tells about the death and how Truman was notified to take the oath of office as successor.
This is a complete original newspaper. It is not a copy or a reproduction. There are 8 pages. It does not state which edition this paper is except for 'FINAL EXTRA', but on these historical days I've seen newspapers that were up to an 8th edition. Whenever something of great significance occurred during the day, newspaper companies would immediately put out another updated edition. I do know that as new editions came out for a particular day, the amount of pages got smaller and I've seen as few as only 6 pages make up a late edition.
In my opinion, the paper is in great condition. The way that it has been folded and stored for many years was a little uneven. The paper was folded three times.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Parcel. Buyer to pay delivery charges of $6.45.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I havve to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
