I was able to get a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to publish the photos and an article about my research. It appeared in the paper on Dec 28, 2007. Perhaps someone will recognize one or more of the boys.

Update: Since the article was published, I have received some interesting emails from St. Louis natives about the history of newsboys in their hometown. Click the link below to Page Two.
