Whenever I see the word “GRIT” I think of the newspaper that tried to get you to sell it, through ads in comic books, and “Boys Life”. I have never seen an actual copy. I figured it was something farmers in some other part of the country bought.
I did see a Reddit thread asking if anyone ever sold it, and found this, which will make no sense to anyone younger than a certain age:
I tried selling it at the beach, but some big guy beat me up and stole them. So I gambled a postage stamp on Charles Atlas’ free book and became a muscular tough guy. Went back to the beach, and beat that guy up. And I stole his x ray spex and sea monkeys!
“GRIT” was published in Williamsport, Pennsylvania FWIW.
