I love old newspapers. The look, the feel, the news - of course - the ads, the unexpected finds.
Newspapers published on a particularly historic day are all the more interesting - the older the event, there are often more innaccuracies in the first stories, and if you have a few days worth of the same paper, you can see how the story develops.
Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944.
I happily share some images from a June 6, 1944 (Final Evening Edition) issue of the Tulsa World in my collection. Bold Headlines. Breaking News. Statemets from the President. Cheap Suits. Rationed Cigarettes.
Enjoy. Remember.

Thank you for the D day newspaper articles! Hard to believe that men's suits used to cost that little (although a lot back then).
