THE NEWSPAPER BOYS

 


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

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

  8. 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.
