Founded in 1794, The Intelligencer Journal, a daily morning newspaper based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is the seventh-oldest newspaper in the United States and remained one of the longest-running papers to retain its original name. (The New York Times, by comparison, was founded in 1851.)

  • December 8, 1941: U.S. BRITISH NAVIES BATTLE JAPS AS TOKYO DECLARES WAR ON AMERICA; ROOSEVELT BEFORE CONGRESS TODAY

  • August 15, 1945: JAPAN SURRENDERS

Note that the newspaper reporting the attack is in one section. The paper reporting the surrender is in two sections, with a special section on the surrender and a comprehensive list of key dates in the war in the Pacific.

These are originals and in very good condition.
