That’s great.
I always saw the ads for selling Grit in Boy’s Life or other Kid’s publications.
But I never even saw a Grit in my life and knew no one who had.
It was almost mythical to me. I couldn’t imagine what it was like as a paper.
I did deliver Oakland Tribune, an afternoon paper, for a while.
It was great money.
I think my cousin is still wealthy (relatively speaking) to this day because of his diligence in his paper route and stinginess - ie he saved everything.
With my Raliegh 3 speed bike and my little red wagon, I delivered the Hartford Times...( and the last day it was published, I gave all the Times to my worst customer.). I loved delivering papers.
