This was one of many scrapbook pages acquired recently.
Many were in poor condition and had to be discarded, but this is one of the
lucky ones to survive.
This clipping is attached to the original scrapbook page and measures approx 11
X 8-1/2.
Other than the expected age discoloration, it remains in VG condition.   The old
paper
has some minor tears around the border, but this does not affect the historical
content.
