“Get your headlines here! Get the daily news, only fifty cents for all the news that’s fit to print!” Joey liked the Sunday morning chant because the price was doubled on Sundays, twice the daily that was a quarter. The tips were larger, too. They were bigger and heavier, but after three years of barking newspapers, his arm could hold the Sunday special editions at least thirty minutes.

I was a teenage paper boy! Ironic that the news then cost fifty cents and was worth more, but now the news is a dollar or two and in effect worthless.
