Unusual 1915 SILK Newspaper-Greensburg Daily Tribune PA Up for bids is a very unusual and scarce 100% pure silk newspaper. This is the entire Friday, June 18th, 1915 Greensburg Daily Tribune which was printed in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. This is a large format eight page newspaper printed on a nice, thick cream colored silk with black lettering. The silk newspaper measures 23 inches in height and is 18 inches across! I'm not sure why Greensburg Daily Tribune decided to print this day's news in silk. I've heard of papers doing this to celebrate the birth of a newspaper, or, for instance, the Sesquicentennial celebration of a town, but I'm not sure why this date was a special occasion in Greensburg. T is a small article on the first page which is entitled ''SPECIAL SUFFRAGE EDITION OUT TODAY''. I'm not certain that they are speaking of this particular newspaper, but perhaps this is a special silk issue that was sold by women suffragists on Friday, June 18th, 1915. 's what was printed under this headline: ''Westmoreland County's special suffrage edition was published at Monessen on Friday. Suffragists over the county will sell copies of the special edition. In Greensburg the special suffrage number may be secured at Miss Sue Weitsel's Drugstore on Main Street. Special efforts for a selling campaign have been put forth at West Newton, Irwin, Jeannette and Latrobe.'' ''Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh, national organizer of the Women's Suffrage party, delivered a brilliant lecture onwoman suffrage in the lecture room of the Methodist Episcopal Church Thursday evening. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union.''The silk paper is NOT a reprint and actually was printed in 1915!
