Chandigarh, October 15

in a highest prices ever paid for a pair of denim, a pair of worn-out Levi’s jeans from 1880s was sold at an auction in New Mexico small town for $87,000 (Rs 71,58,494 lakh).

According to CNN, the pair of jeans was found in an abandoned mine by “denim archaeologist” Brit Eaton. It was later bought at the auction by 23-year-old Kyle Hautner and Zip Stevenson, veterans of the vintage denim market.

Stevenson told CNN that the “jeans are extremely rare — especially in this fantastic worn condition and size.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
