Daily newspaper cost two cents, and Sunday paper cost a dime. Newsboys sold papers on street corners, to passersby and to driver's when they stopped for traffic signals, Boys also delivered papers to homes and collected once a week, to pay for their bicycles, times were tough and men worked 48 hour weeks for fifty cents an hour. Much better now, Best wishes....Been there, done that.

About 3-5 cents. About 10 years ago, a LA Times cost more to make than what the price was. I think it was about $1.25 to make, and it sold at the time for $1.00
