Curatorial RemarksWyeth's work for the Jobbers OverAll Company was done through N. W. Ayer & Son, a Philadelphia advertising agency (see the N. W. Ayer Advertising Agency Records, 1849-2001, Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution). The Brandywine River Museum holds a pair of Blue Buckle OverAlls from the artist's studio (NCWS.95.4538).
