Sunday Grit: A Newspaper Legacy
Many Americans recall Grit with nostalgia. For more than 125 years, this popular Sunday newspaper delivered homespun good news, features, fiction, coupons, and comics to families across the nation. Nearly one million children have sold it, some for a few weeks, and some for several years. They often look back with pride on the experience when, as young entrepreneurs, they knocked on the doors of small-town homes and were welcomed with a smile and a dime for a weekly edition of Grit: America’s Greatest Family Newspaper. |
