Since the first newspaper carrier, a lot has changed. Not only have the routines changed, but the methods and the age of the people delivering have also changed.. However, the newspaper carrier is still exists in some form. Each and every newspaper carrier owes 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.
Benjamin Day, the Sun's publisher, hired the first paperboy on September 4, 1833, according to a captioned photograph published by the Museum of the City of New York. The advertisement was published on September day by a 10-year-old Barney Flaherty. Flaherty was so impressed by the boy's sincerity that he encouraged him to apply that day, that he gave him the job.
Flaherty's sales pitch was soon heard on the corner, passersby soon heard Flaherty hawking his sales pitch. "Paper!" the universal chorus of boys (and occasionally girls) is calling out, "Paper!" says the universal chorus of boys (and occasionally girls). "Here, get your paper, here!" could be heard on the streets selling newspapers.
