Back in the late 1960s, my church had a paper drive every other Saturday, and I was one of the regular workers for about three years. I would on occasion find LIFE and LOOK Magazines that I would reserve for myself (we would pick up a half-ton of newspapers and magazines, so I justified holding back a few ounces). Occasionally, there would be a few good comics, and every once in a great while, a girlie magazine (it was the ’60s; mags of that stripe rarely showed more, or even as much, as bare behinds and an occasional hint of bare breast).
Yes, other than the fact that I was working in a variable group in a VW minibus, Charlie Brown and Shermie were describing my experiences.
I get the idea that they’re going around to houses collecting old magazines, but who are they selling them to? Would a recycling place have paid for bulk paper?
I would have been the age of these kids in the early 60s, but I don’t remember anything like this.
