47th Annual Newsboys Dinner Through the Years
The Christmas Day feed at S Alamo and Commerce began with Nat Washer inviting newsboys into his store for warmth and candy dessert. By the next year attendance grew, and the annual dinner moved to the St Anthony hotel with sponsors including J Ross Bales and later Col W B Tuttle and Erhard Guenther. Guenther’s 1937 start limited attendance to 500, later Harry Jersig’s Lone Star Brewing Co sponsorship continued after 1945. Rent notices and a phantom Light Classifieds plug appear amid recollections of the dinners and community figures.
