Daily People” in 1900. When it went weekly in 1914, the name was changed to back to the original and eventually to “Weekly People.”
This complete six-page newspaper is in good shape, with the exception on a small hole in the center caused by folding. It’s dated June 27, 1970.
Some of the articles are interesting and reflect the times: the dangers of pollution; how capitalism is filled with corruption; how Mexican-Americans and American workers are being exploited by capitalism; and how the Vietnam War is such a danger to society.
But the real kicker is on the front page, with an amazing picture of a large grimacing skull overlooking a polluted city.
