Park Row - Close to the Source

Newsboys in the early 1900s were most concentrated in the areas of production; namely, Park Row. Most major news sources during this period were housed in this part of New York, so the concentration in Park Row is obvious. Their presence in other areas of town is an inquiry into what might have necessitated the availability of news quickly.
