There were ads in comic books in the 70s & early 80s for kids to walk around selling Grist.
Has any kid ever even done this? Even as a kid I always wondered who in the world were these kids who walked around and sold "Grist"...I have not thought about Grist since I was 10 years old...

4. It certainly had the same name... |
|
...but I have no idea if it's the same publication.
There used to be ads in comics to recruit boys to "Sell Grist"- there was a picture of a paper boy with a "Grist" bag...
you got to choose from corny prizes for pay...Sort of like selling cards, I guess...
I aways thought it was strange, but now I'm seeing DU links to Grist all of a sudden...
