A Penny-in-the-Slot Newspaper Stand
A silent, yet very successful “newsboy” is shown in the photograph reproduced. Each rack holds one of the daily newspapers. The passer-by puts a penny in the slot and selects his paper. The penny falls down a chute, striking a bell, as evidence that the customer has paid. Hundreds of papers are sold from this rack each day without the aid of the newsboy’s shouts. The slanting shelves make it unnecessary to provide weights for the papers.—M. F. Hall, St. Louis, Mo.
