A newspaper dispenser (10) includes a dispensing mechanism (44) in which a carriage (92) is mounted for rolling forwardly and rearwardly on tracks (84) and (86). A transverse bar (126) is rotatably mounted on the carriage (92), and a cocking lever (104) is fixedly mounted on one end of the transverse bar. A pair of pins (134) are mounted in the transverse bar (126). In an engagement position, the pins extend downwardly and towards the front of the dispenser (10) at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. In a disengagement position, the pins extend towards the front of the dispenser (10) in a horizontal orientation. When the carriage (92) is moved along the tracks (84) and (86) towards the rear of the dispenser (10), the cocking lever (104) engages a cocking stop (108) and rotates the pins (134) into an engagement position causing them to pierce a newspaper disposed below the carriage. When the carriage (92) is moved towards the front of the dispenser (10), the pins (134) slidably propel the newspaper out of the dispenser.
