Scan: The Billboard 1931-12-19

At Ontario Pinfest I was gifted a box of old billboard magazines, from Mike Hanley of Church of the silver ball. They were fairly brittle and quite large, making them a formidable challenge, but a preservationist friend was able to take on this challenge and here is the first issue of that batch. This one is in 300 dpi, but the future ones will apparently I'll be 600 DPI. thank you to F-T-BScans for the scan.

The Billboard December 19th 1931

 

I requested the final few pages of the magazine get rescanned at 600 dpi, and those pages are here. Those are the few coin-op pages, but this section of the magazine will quickly grow in later issues.
