A hand-made classified ad. Craigslist 1910 style.
child labor ad abt 1910
We hope this job had something to do with the production of buttons.

Here's an opportunity for older boys:
Cycle Trades of America 1921
There is a trace of entrepreneurship in this ad, which is kind of good.

Person of color? Never fear! We'll make extra sure you're kept busy.
Jello 1922
I never saw the "jello monstrosity purgatory" tag before. I don't know how it came about, but I sure hope that's what the kid is holding.

Child labor Disney style!

Because being a poor child scraping together a meager living on the streets is as fun as mermaids and magic castles.

Think all newsies were boys? Think again.
