Times Square News Ticker

Origin
The first news ticker in Times Square was introduced in 1928, a year before the stock market crashed in 1929. Had people known about the drop in prices of stock a few hours ahead of time they may have saved themselves from poverty.

Effects
Predicts important events a few hours ahead of time. It doesn't respond to questioning or urging, giving out information about importance events from around the globe.

Collection
It was collected shortly after the stock market crash as it briefly predicted the beginning of the dust bowl, the end to the world series, and other events. It is kept in Artie's office as an early warning system. Mentioned in "A Touch of Fever".
