Patrick J. Dunne
Dunne got a job at the Chicago American, where he befriended a tough Chicago-born Irishman who’d sold newspapers since he was a kid: Arthur “Mickey” McBride. In 1911, during a strike against the American, McBride was named the paper’s circulation manager. Two years later, the Cleveland News hired McBride away. Dunne followed McBride to Cleveland and joined his streetwise army of newsstanders, who waged a circulation war against the Cleveland Press.
