Front page from the August 13, 1927 edition of the Detroit Saturday Night. The page includes the headline "When Lindbergh Came to Town" and seven captioned photographs related to Charles Lindbergh's visit to Detroit. The photographs are captioned, from left to right and from top to bottom, as follows:
"'The Spirit of St. Louis' just as it was landing at the Ford Airport. Workmen were helping push it along to the hangar, where Col. Lindbergh alighted."
"Mrs. Lindbergh was in happy mood, as she had reason to be. The aviator is here shown wearing his leather coat, which he had not removed after landing."
"School children and others waiting at Northwestern Field to see 'Lindy.'"
"The flyer in sober mood."
"The tablet which was unveiled at Lindbergh's birthplace on Forest Avenue West."
"Another view of Col. Lindbergh."
"The crowds at Northwestern Field, where the official public welcome to the aviator was staged. The grandstand is shown in the foreground, with the huge amplifiers that enabled everyone within hundreds of feet to hear what was said."
The reverse side, page 2, includes articles titled "What's Happened to the Papers" and "I See by the Paper" in addition to an advertisement for Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
