St. Louis Argus, December 7, 1917
The St. Louis Argus of December 7, 1917 was a weekly newspaper published in St. Louis for the city's Black community, carrying local news, church and society notices, and advertising. Its pictures are dense newspaper advertisements and page fragments: heavy display type for razors and tooth-care offers, a boxed Steiner badge and seal advertisement, a hair grower portrait, and a Pipe Fitter notice, showing how mid-century newsprint mixed bold lettering with small-type classifieds and cut-out illustrations a designer might borrow for layout energy.
