Travel to the 1950's with Tom Barker as he takes you on his
Rollfast Bicycle for a ride back in time when the minimum wage was
$1 an hour, a stamp cost 3 cents and a newspaper was a nickel. Tom
takes you on a visit to the lost world of the delivery of the
mighty newspaper by an army of teens. Learn how hundreds of
newspaper carriers got the latest news, fashion, sports, and
advertising out to the masses. Understand the importance of the
newspaper boy institution and the famous people it has influenced
and were once among its ranks. Tom will tell you how he got his
paper route, overcame obstacles, made new friends, and endeared
himself to the customers on route S-2 in Irondequoit New York.
Today newspapers are delivered by sometimes grumpy men in
automobiles who deposit the thin wad of newsprint into a plastic
tube at the side of the road. Back in the 1950's each customer had
a special place reserved at their house for the gentle placement of
the thick, rolled up, multipage conveyance of information. It was a
different world back then and Tom will take you there.
