GENERAL INFORMATION. Art Grinnell of Marblehead, previously a halfback on the Fordham University "Seven blocks of Granite" football team, ran the National Diaper Service. Baston produced 2,000 of these pieces which were given to customers and used in advertising by the company.
After the commercial contract had run out, Baston removed the logo and sold it to his stores as part of his Mother and Child series.From Dr. Glenn Johnson's book, The Sebastian Miniature Collection.
