[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 3518114, member: 6592"] I was a paper boy for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, while I was living at the Jersey shore. In the summertime, we had a newspaper honor box on the corner of our front yard (our house was on the main street running the length of the island I lived on.) Every afternoon, I'd put in 10 papers (at 10 cents a piece.) Sometime during the next morning, I go retrieve the leftover papers. If there were two papers left, there was 80 cents in the coin tube. The box I'm thinking of is so old there's no pictures of it anywhere on the internet! I was a rectangular metal box with a plastic window on the front and an open left side. it was on metal feet and had a metal coin drop tube welded onto it. You stuck the papers in the box and people took them out after dropping the money into the tube. No mechanics at all. [/QUOTE]
