That Schwinn had 100+ papers for delivery in the saddlebags. It must have weighed 60-70 lbs or more, and I rode it up and down hills, carefully throwing the papers on to peoples' porches - we called it "porching" the paper, or "the paper was porched."

For "porching" a paper, we hoped to earn a tip of 25 cents each month!

Eventually, I followed the lead of some older paper boys who slung the saddlebags over their heads onto their shoulders and walked the route. I started at 4:30 am each day.
