THE NEWSPAPER BOYS

 


I know nothing about this delightful photo of young newspaper boys, other than the fact that it was taken in 1910.

    The newspaper boys were tough little guys. They took their papers and stood on the street corner yelling until all the papers ere sold.

    It is a cool photo and I like seeing it and there is no way for kids to make money delivering newspaper these days because we've got all all all internet

    Sadly, this scene is way in the past...being a paper boy taught many lessons for young ones. Now, it's all subscribing over the internet. Cool nostalgic photo. Ps...happy thanksgiving weekend to you too Denise. Stay safe.

    Hi Denise,
    What a wonderful old photo, these days don't have to leave home for a paper, just
    download and read on the computer.
    Stay safe and well
    John.

      I know what you mean but I love those flat caps. I have an old photo of my dad as a boy in very similar attire.
