"V-for-Victory" Aprons.

Cedric Adams column in the Mon
day evening Minneapolis Star Journal
calls attention to new "V-for-Vic-
tory" apron designed by a 78-year
old Minneapolis woman, Adelaide de
Groat. One of these aprons, owned
by Mrs. Holger Buck, is now on dis
play at the Askov Coop Store. Mrs.
Buck, an old friend of the designer,
received the apron about year ago.
Rights to make the apron has been
sold to a large manufacturing firm,
a leading weekly magazine may use
it for a cover and the War Savings
department is considering it for a
poster.
The apron design is simple with the
'V" in red forming the bibs and
straps. White is used in the apron
part with blue border at the bot
tom and in the lower corner is the
''V" symbol, three dots and dash.
