In 1936, while in Chicago, Arnold Friberg had designed a New Year’s art cover for the Southern Agriculturist depicting Father Time with an old plow. He was handing over the reins of the plow to Baby New Year, who was anxious to take control as Father Time pointed to a field of hard work ahead.
Most popular magazines of the 1930s and 1940s used symbolic illustrations on many of their covers. Father Time, Baby New Year, Uncle Sam, and other symbols regularly appeared on the magazines.
