Guy Ferguson operator of the stand says New York papers are most frequently called for, and Boston papers have a large sale. and Baltimore papers have a big de- mand, too. “I have a large number of regular customers who come for their paper at about the same time each day,” he sald. “As soon as 1 see one of them I know what paper he wants. Women buy about 30 per cent of my papers.” Included in the papers on sale here are those from all sections of the United States and a few from England, France, Italy and Germany. Papers published in the United States are on sale from one to four days after their | publication. The foreign papers are about ten days old. The unsold papers are sent to Walter | Reed Hospital.
