St. Louis Argus is an African-American-oriented weekly newspaper founded in 1912 by brothers Joseph Everett Mitchell and William Mitchell. Nannie Mitchell, William's wife, helped found the paper but worked uncredited for many years, becoming president decades later. The Argus began as a newsletter for an insurance company named Western Union Relief Association. The Argus is the oldest continuous black business in St. Louis, Missouri.
