What's 

 the Use 



of walking when you 

 can get a first-class, high- 

 grade bicycle for nothing? 



How? 



By getting 75 subscriptions for 



Recreation 



If you live in a town of 3,000 

 or more, and if you are a hustler 

 you can get these in 2 days, 



I can give you the names of 20 

 people who did this in 1896, and 

 who now have their wheels.
