Summary

Description
English: This is my 1970 paperboy license for my Reporter-Dispatch route in Scarsdale, New York, signed by the Junior High School principal. I share this image freely with a CC-BY-SA copyright, asking only that appropriate attribution is given. Child labor laws required that paperboys under age 14 were licensed as a special exception. As of the the July 2, 1964 passage of the Civil Rights Act, it was illegal to discriminate based on sex, but state law allowed only boys under 14 to deliver newspapers for years. -Daniel Gibson Axtell
