Question 140th. Anniversary???
I must be missing something. What is that white "140th anniversary edition" Ultra commemorating? How are they connecting the MOCO to 1871?

Are they "celebrating" the great Chicago fire or what?

Here's a wild guess! It's the 140th anniversary of the marking of Independence Day as a public holiday.
