Back in the day, the newspaper carrier was also responsible for "collecting" for the paper. We took both the Register and Tribune and I don't remember if it was the same person/kid doing.
What I do remember is we were allowed to go get money to pay the carrier. They would stand at the front door while we went to my parent's bedroom to the desk. Either the top or second drawer on the left had a money holder of sorts. It was like a book but had pages with envelopes I believe. Dad would take money from his paycheck and divvy up cash into different areas. So we would go to the desk to the section for the newspaper and get cash to give to the carrier. And they wore money changers on their belt to give you change as needed. Pretty big stuff for a kid.
