[Ads-l] Restricted access to "Stars and Stripes" and "The buck stops here"

[Baker, John]

Garson, all of the early uses of "The buck stops here" are to desk signs that say that.  The earliest references say that Brigadier General A. B. Warfield had such a sign, and you suggest that he is the leading candidate for crafter of the expression.  Do you think the signs were all custom-made?  I'm wondering if perhaps office supply or novelty shops came up with these signs.

While preparing a website entry about the saying "The buck stops here"
I noticed a match in the "Stars and Stripes" in the NewspaperArchive
database. Unfortunately, additional detailed information about the
match was blocked, and the following message was displayed:

Does someone have access to the full newspaper page image for this citation?

There is now an entry on the Quote Investigator website on this "The
Buck Stops Here". At this time, the citation from the "Stars and
Stripes" has been omitted:

Thanks for any help you can provide,
