Old Kuokoa “Paper Boy”, 1923.

This is a picture of Maui Kaiko, one of the paper boys of the Kuokoa, along with his new hat. Maui Kaiko is 70 years old now, yet he is just as lively selling newspapers as the youngsters of town, and by selling newspapers, he has everything he needs in life.

[Notice how the word "keiki" is not only used for young boys (or children in general), but is also used how we use it today, as in: "Maui boy" or "local boy"...]

(Kuokoa, 6/14/1923, p. 4)

O keia ke kii o Maui Kaiko...

Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, Buke LXII, Helu 24, Aoao 4. Iune 14, 1923.
