Description
In this circa 1928 photograph, a throng of "Sacramento Bee" paper boys or "newsies" stand in front of the Sacramento Abstract and Title building at 701 K Street. During the 1920s and 30s, being a paper boy for the Bee was quite sought after. Carriers were treated to annual picnics, in which the boys were taken by train to Lincoln, California. During Christmas, the newsboys were treated to a ""feed"" and entertainment at Hart's Restaurant on Tenth Street.
