The Newspaper Machine

A local newspaper machine

Streetside newspaper machines, you have got to wonder just how much longer will these continue to exist as fewer and fewer of us read the daily paper. This K-Jack model from 1988 appears to have weathered the ravages of street life and vandalism with just a small amount of rust starting to show on the edges. Not so strange is that this was made in America, amazingly though – they still are! I’d be willing to bet most everyone has seen and could recognize the familiar USA Today newspaper machine, well that is the KJ-25 model, I never once before today wondered from where do these lowly mechanical boxes come from. Now I know, a small company in Gardena, California.
