Newsstand from the vendor, a little large

Newsstand reduced to 66% onto card stock.  I think it looks more realistic.  During the steam era one of these was close to every railway/commuter station and at least one in most down town areas.  John

Though not a stand alone newsstand, my all time favorite remains the one that could be found inside Tampa Union Station.  I discovered it right after my stepfather had moved us from Dallas, TX to Tampa, FL in 1959.  As a matter of fact, I purchased my first 50 cent copy of Trains Magazine off of it.  You could even grab a 10 cent ice cold fountain Coke (Reg.U.S.Pat.Off.) and 5 cent chocolate mint paddy from the nice lady who ran the counter. 

As fate would have it, when I started delivering The Tampa Times after school, I discovered that she lived on my route!  She didn't take the paper since she could read it during her break at work.  However, this proves that it's indeed a small world afterall...sometimes anyhow.
