  • Title:Carrier Boy’s Address to Patrons Friends Sterling Weekly Republican, 1858
  • Description: The Carrier Boy’s Address to Patrons and Friends of The Sterling Weekly Republican, January 1, 1858.Carriers' addresses were published by newspapers, usually on January 1, and distributed in the United States for more than two centuries. The custom originated in England and was introduced here during colonial times. The newsboys delivered these greetings in verse each New Year's Day, and the customers understood that a tip was expected. The poems, often anonymous, describe the events of the past year, locally, regionally, and nationally, and end with a request for a gratuity for the faithful carrier. Often the poem referred to the carrier's diligence and hardships during winter weather. Illustrated with wood-engravings and decorative borders, carriers' addresses are distinctive examples of popular publishing in nineteenth century America.We are offering this with NO RESERVE! Please look at all the pics carefully.
