I like Graciegirl's Sweetie was a paperboy.The daily paper cost seven cents.I loved getting those tips at Christmas.Usually a dollar from each customer and once in awhile a five.Hated Wednesdays because that was the day paper was much bigger and heavier because of the ads.Saturday was the thinnest paper so easy delivery day.Saturday morning was collection day and I would knock on doors to collect that 42 cents.People didn't pay by mail in those days.ah-MEMORIES
