DescriptionIt won't seem any different from any other working day to 13-year-old Rose Wearne and her 11-year-old brother Will when they deliver their Tempe Daily News routes this afternoon. But today is national Newspaper Carriers Day , a salute to young people such as Rose and Will and approximately 120 other Tempe boys and girls who bring TDN to your doorstep six days a week. News carriers are the city's youngest " merchants " getting their first taste of the responsibilities of being businessman and women as they deliver their product , keep their own collection records and solicit new customers to build their routes- and increase their " takehome pay ." Children of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Wearne, Rose has been delivering TDN for one year, her brother for six months.The film negative of this photograph is housed in box 2G7-E.
