Snubbed Liberian President Cuts His Tour of Dixie Short - Jet Magazine Nov 18, 1954

Click the "All Sizes" button above to read an article or to see the image clearly.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.

Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... They are happily appreciated!
