Tell your friends to buy and read the newspaper from a Contributor vendor. You’re already there if you’re reading this, but chances are you have at least a couple of folks in your circle who’ve never had the pleasure of interacting with one of our vendors or reading the paper they sell. Vendors grow their microbusinesses by purchasing more copies for 50 cents, which they sell on the street for $2. This is the vendors’ money to keep. Free papers, gear and map badges (reserved locations) incentivize vendors to grow their microbusinesses.
