Here are some selected pieces from Associated Press in the late thirties and early forties. I guess, these would come as part of the package you got when you subscribed to AP's news service. They had a staff of artists and photographs that provided visuals for their stories or sometime even pure visual bits. From this pool of talent came a lot of the early realitstic artists, such as Al Capp, Milt Caniff, Noel Sickles, Mel Graff, Hank Barrow and George Wunder.

Who is the artist on A SLICE, A HOOK, A THANKSGIVING BIRDIE?
Is Sickles the artist on SIGNALS FOR BACK-SEAT FLYERS?
There is a Joe Cunningham here: http://strippersguide.blogspot.nl/2010/03/news-of-yore-1925-joe-cunningham.html and here: http://www.worldcat.org/title/joe-cunningham-biographical-file/oclc/556245166. I had never heard of either.
I don't thoink Sickles is the artist of Signals. I added his name so you could follow the link to other stuff I have of his. Signals looks similar to the work of a WWII educational/propaganda artist I have come across a lot in my collection of army papers and booklets, but never scanned (yet).
