Great thread! I split a good sized route with my friend. We weren't old enough to get the route in our name for the Orange County Register in California so we had my friends big brother do all the interfacing and we did the work and got paid. I can't recall how many houses we had but we grew a couple of times. Schwinn Beach Cruisers were the delivery vehicles. Loved porching the papers and earning extra money from those who appreciated the skill. I still recall fondly the collection nights where I would appear at the front door to collect and all the smells of diferent meals being prepared! Great memories in the late 70's!
