Yeah, people don’t realize that the newspapers worked 24 hours, and all the delivery took place at night and early morning.
There were neighbors a few houses down that never seemed to have jobs, I think their last name was Humberger. I found out that the L.B. Press Telegram would dump a a big stake bed truck full of bundles of papers on their front lawn in the wee hours of the morning. Then they would go to work and fold and deliver cars full of papers all over town for the paper boys to deliver. Everything was done and delivered by dawn, so no one knew anything had even happened. 😮👍
