	It's not just Wilson. Clearly you still need earlier
	formats	such as print and micro. For example:

    The Chicago Tribune full text archive does not include:

        * Classifieds
        * Birth Announcements
        * Legal Notices
        * Sports Statistics
        * Real Estate listings
        * Weather Pages
        * Advertising
        * Photographs
        * Charts
        * Comics

    The Chicago Tribune historic article image archive does not
    include articles from 10/1/1854 - 12/31/1860 or from 1/1/1870 - 12/31/1874.

    Paid death notices prior to July 1, 2000 (death notices from years prior to 1985
    can be found in the historic archive.
