Jim Krumel: Youth newspaper carriers a first job like few others
Jim Krumel
Steve Metzger of Elida has restored this 1967 Schwinn carrier bike that was similar to the one he used to deliver newspapers as a youth. He’s even made saddle bags for it and vows to one day ride it around the community.
I’m sure of it.
No doubt in mind.
There’s ink in the blood of Al Meinerding, Eldon Miller, Margaret Finkenbine, Theresa Schnipke and countless others whose first job, way back when, was delivering newspapers.
Putting that paper in the hands of their customers is as special to them today as it was during their childhood.
