Same setup, cash and prizes. I rarely sold more than 5 papers an issue. Biweekly, I think. I actually rode my bicycle about 3 miles or so on the dirt county road around the area to deliver one issue. I think I got 5c per issue. Don't even remember what sorts of fabulous prizes I got either, although I think I did get a battery powered bike headlight/taillight set. Nowadays Grit is a clone of Mother Earth News magazine. Then it was a newspaper similar in looks to National Enquirer, but more serious. Geared mostly toward '50's era rural life with stay at home moms and so on. Wish I still had a few copies.lastromantic49https://www.blogger.com/profile/15352300459560808405noreply@blogger.com
