Hey, Mayberry friends. While watching "Opie's Newspaper" I thought about a paper from my younger days called "The Grit". It was a national newspaper sorta' like "USA Today" containing general interest stories and news that was usually several months old. It seems the paper's main objective was to lure kids like me to become neighborhood salesmen where you could win all sorts of goodies, toys and maybe even a pony! Sounds kinda' like the Miracle Salve business but I don't know if they ever blacklisted anyone. Does anyone else remember this?
Opie's paper cost 3 cents but the student rate was a penny a piece. Larry in Lincolntn _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
