Since the first newspaper carrier was first published, a lot has changed. Not only have the routines been modified, but the methods and the age of the people delivering have also changed. However, the newspaper carrier also exists in some form. Each and every newspaper carrier owe their start to an enterprising young immigrant in New York City over 180 years ago. As the period fades, their history becomes no less interesting....
According to a captioned photograph published by the Museum of the City of New York, Benjamin Day, the Sun's publisher, hired the first paperboy on September 4, 1833. Barney Flaherty, a 10-year-old barney, answered the newspaper on September day. Although the ad encouraged "steady guys" to apply, Flaherty so impressed the editor that the boy's sincerity that he gave him the job that day that he gave him the opportunity.
Flaherty was soon heard hawking his sales pitch down on the corner. Eventually, the universal chorus of boys (and occasionally girls) (and occasionally girls) yells, "Paper!" says the universal chorus of boys (and occasionally girls). Get your newspaper, here!" could be heard on the streets selling newspapers. "Get your paper, here!" could be heard on the streets.
