^ Your choices were something like this.
Great on a hot summer day, like today. |

This reminds me of the milkman driving a horse and cart while delivering fresh, cold milk each morning and taking away the empties. Gee whiz, I must be older than I think!

As a kid, I delivered newspapers. Sundays were tough. Had fun though!

I had baskets for the sides of my rear wheel to hold the papers.

Never delivered papers but stood in front of a supermarket and sold them in the afternoon after school.

Yep, we had one. Clunky old Chevy truck with a very distotrted music box.
The driver had disgustingly long, dirty fingernails. Still, we bought the goodies.

How about the saw dust on the floor at the butchers?

I worked in a butcher shop for a while when I was a kid. I always got stuck cleaning the sawdust out of the huge pickle barrel. The little brats loved to throw sawdust from the floor into it.

lucky if I made 6 cents a day. I eventually lucked out and landed a regular paper route not far from the market. Six mile round trip, rain or shine, six days a week. Keeping my bicycle in good repair put a dent in my meager profits. Still, I consider the paper route an invaluable experience.

How about paper hats out of newspaper? Was fun when we were kids.

I delivered the after hours edition for a couple of years. Pretty decent money. Gave me enough to spend as a kid and save to blow on car when I got a little older.

We were required to install covers on all of our school books; butcher wrap,
newsprint or whatever. Our 3-ring binders got pretty grubby by the end of the school year. Well, the boy’s binders. The girls carried theirs differently and didn’t seem to get trashed. 🤣
