Offered is an antique Wall Street Journal newspaper boy apron, dating to between 1930 and 1940.  Printed across the top in a yellow-and-red block font is “THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.”  Further, printed across the middle in white font is the following:

“IT BRINGS YOU BUSINESS”
From Everywhere to Anywhere
COMPLETE-ACCURATE-DAILY

And finally, printed across the bottom in yellow-and-red block font is “THE WALL STREET JOURNAL”, similar to what is printed across the top of the apron.    

Conservation Process: This apron was hand sewn to cotton fabric, and both were hand sewn to a mounting board.  To prevent the black dye in the cotton fabric from seeping into the apron, it was first washed in a standard wash and then in a dye setting wash.  The apron is positioned behind Optium Museum Acrylic.

Frame: This offering is in our Large Distressed Black and Gold Frame. 

Condition Report: This apron has some minor font cracking and has some minor stains.  Overall, however, it is in fantastic condition and is a great display piece, particularly for an office.
