St. Louis Argus, April 19, 1918
The St. Louis Argus was a weekly Black newspaper published in St. Louis in 1918, serving the city's African American readership with news on the war, churches, and local business. The pictures are dense newsprint pages of small classified advertisements, a hairstyle ad, a grocer's notice, and a formal portrait of a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, with tight columns and heavy black ink blocks a designer could borrow for layout density and display type.
