My sister, Ruby Ann, and I began the Serious Shopper in June of 2000.  We grew up deliverering papers and the ink got in our blood!  Our mother was a distribution manager for the Tulsa World and Daily Oklahoman for 20 years or so; therefore, each of her six children learned to work early.  I delivered papers on a motorcycle at 3 in the morning at the age of 14.  Before that, I can remember riding in the back of the pickup bed jumping out throwing papers on the porches while mom drove down the street.  We also had some pretty good paper fights while cutting off the tops of the returns which you could sell back to the company then.  Working with my family was fun and it taught me to work hard at something I enjoyed.  I began selling ads for another paper in order to go back to college after raising my family.  I finished my decree, but had already found what I really wanted to do in life.  So here I am, still selling ads, typesetting and yes delivering papers!  My sister moved on to other things (she found out that she likes working around animals and works at the Heavener Animal Clinic).  We named our paper the "Serious Shopper" because I wanted to find something that used a double "S" for two sisters. 

 

Individual classified ads help attract readers to the paper.  If you have personal items to sell you may place your ad for FREE (first 25 words) and $5.00 for additional ad or words up to 50 words.  Business Classifieds are $5.00 for up to 25 words and $7.00 for up to 50 words. 

 

Thanks for your continued reading; and many thanks to those of you who call to say how much you enjoy the Shopper
