Little Merchants - the story of the newspaper boys presented at Senior Center Feb 17

 “Capable yet Controversial”

Sandra Walker, author of Little Merchants, began her newspaper carrier project to honor her brother’s memory. She will discuss her book in a session at the Senior Center on February 17, 10:30am to 11:30am.

“In 1940 350,000 children delivered more than 39,000,000 daily newspapers. By 1980 nearly one million youngsters served as the primary newspaper distribution force. Little Merchants, The Golden Era of Youth Delivering Newspapers, for the 1920 to 1970 year, gives the nostalgic remembrance of those days; the historic record tells even more, sharing the children’s contributions to community and to country.”  

The Shoreline Lake Forest Park Senior Center is located in the southernmost building of the Shoreline Center at the corner of 1st Ave NE and NE 185th.
