Jewish Daily Bulletin (archives)

Note: the Jewish Telegraphic Agency maintains a very complete archive of all the issues of the Jewish Daily Bulletin. William Z. Spiegelman was the editor of this newspaper for exactly five years. His first issue was October 15, 1924, and his last issue was October 13, 1929 (the issue for October 16, 1929 carries the news of his resignation).

If one looks a
t the issues published prior to October 15, 1924 -- even
the issue published right before William Z. took over as the editor -- one finds that it was not really a newspaper, but a news letter. That is to say, it was simply a series of typewritten pages that were mimeographed and then stapled together. From the moment that William Z. took over, the Jewish Daily Bulletin was a true newspaper: composed into columns by a professional typesetter and then printed by a professional printer.
