"They're running out of the damn green.
- Idiots. - Some foul-up at transport.
- This crowd will blow. - I know.
Got the scoops standing by. But I don't know if they can handle this."

While you're on the subject of 1920's paperboys, it's worth checking out Brown University's archive of Carriers Addresses. They are basically pleas for Christmas tips in the form of poetry or short stories. The scans preserve 1800's typesetting and artwork.

Come, Gentle Reader, list the strain The CARRIER wakes for you again- Again he comes with greetings due, To wish a happy year to you. Again he thanks for favors shown Throughout the year that now has flown; Again he ask, that favors may Continued bless thy future way
