If for no other reason than to see the inside of the train station for once, I publish the above photo of the newspaper carriers' trip to Chicago. For what sounds, from the attached article, as a pretty good time in the Windy City, you'd think somebody might have cracked a smile for the occasion. But so as to not sound like a snarky blogger, I shall conclude this recitation and just assume the boys had a rollicking good time.
That!s pretty cool. My older brothers Bill and Tom won a contest with The Daily Northwestern to Chicago and had front row seats to the riots that happened during the Democratic Convention (1968?). I'll bet there are interesting articles about that trip!
ReplyDeleteNote that street addresses were listed for the paperboys (minors), the newly promoted Captain Resch, and the deceased Mrs. Bergstrom. That sure wouldn't happen now.
