Those of you who are at least 30-35 and older should remember these ads. Now, I don’t know of a single person who ever actually sold Grit - hell, I never even saw an actual issue of the near mythical periodical - but I also don’t know of a kid who didn’t at least fantasize about seling the damn thing and making their first fortune by the age of 13. If anyone ou there was a successful Grit salesperson, I’d love to hear about it. Even more, I’d love to see a scan of an issue so I can maybe finally understand what all the fuss was about.
