Record-Journal
The Vigers of Meriden, Connecticut have been part of the
Silver City's local newspaper distribution service for four decades!
It all began in the 60's when Phil would take his "banana" bike and
deliver the afternoon Journal edition to his neighbors in the areas of
Geer Avenue and View, Silver, Jefferson and Oak Streets.
With the acquisition of a 3-speed English Racer, a second and third route
from Eli-Whitney School to Heritage Apartments on Broad Street were served.
Phil's customers would often find him spending his tips with his friends
at Lynch's Drug Store soda fountain bar for cherry vanilla ice cream.
Phil even delivered the morning Record to the apartment residents across
Maloney High School on Gravel Street; and got an 'inside job' telemarketing
for the company's circulation department before graduating in 1975.
Eventually, Phil's sisters Cherolyn, Diane and Suzanne (and later his
brother Lionel) were seen carrying-on the first route tradition into the 80's.
The 90's saw a new generation of Vigers continue the entrepreneurial quest.
Amy and Bryan were carriers of the (combined) Record-Journal for residents
of Sherman Avenue, Prescott and Britannia streets until 1996. Their mother,
Betsy, continued with the Sherman route through 1998; while Phil takes the
tradition of delivery of the local paper into the electronic era with a link!
