===Curtis Publishing=== In the 1930s, the [[Curtis Publishing Company]] published several magazines, including the ''[[Saturday Evening Post]]'' and the ''[[Ladies Home Journal]]''. These magazines were distributed to subscribers through a delivery network that used youths, primarily boys, to sell subscriptions in residential neighborhoods. The boys received a small commission; in addition, if they met certain sales targets, they could also earn company [[scrip]], consisting of green and brown vouchers, referred to as "greenies" and "brownies." One brownie was worth five greenies. The greenies and brownies could be redeemed for goods from the company's catalogue.<ref name="worldwidewords" />
