My mother subscribed to the Pearson Tribune, August 30, 1947, 77 years ago.

It cost $2.00.

Pearson Tribune Subscription Receipt

Notice the address is just “Ray City Georgia”.

No rural route or anything was needed to deliver.

Also, the address for the same house now and since the 1960s is Hahira 31632.

Why Pearson? She grew up there, and had only married and moved to the farm a few years before.
