Old Newsboys Goodfellow Sale Monday, Dec. 14
The Old Newsboys of Detroit will hit the streets on Monday, December 14, with their Goodfellow Extras for Christmas cheer.
Plans for the Goodfellow sale, with a goal of $225,000, were announced Saturday by Frank J. Brady, President of the organization for 1959. The Old Newsboys, assisted by Detroit policemen, will take over street corners for two hours on the 14th, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., as they have every year since 1914.
The annual sale of Goodfellow editions of the three Metropolitan dailies assures a Merry Christmas for thousands of underprivileged children who might otherwise be "forgotten".
Names on the Goodfellows' Christmas lists are carefully culled from records of the school attendance department, from the records of Aid to Dependent Children and welfare lists.
According to President Frank J. Brady, a nephew of the late James J. Brady, founder of the Old Newsboys, "This year's unemployment has caused unexpected hardships for thousands of families. Unless we step in, the children in these homes will be overlooked by Santa Claus."
