For ten years the desk calendar
issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company has held an unique place
among business helpers. Each daily
leaf during that time has taught it's
quiet lesson of the value of better
roads and outdoor exercise, and es-
peclally the benefits of bicycling.
The calendar for 1895, which is just
issued, is even brighter than its pre-
decessors in appearance, as clever
artists have added dainty silhouette
and sketch to the usual wise and
witty contributions that have here
tofore given this popular calendar
its charm. 1t can be had for five 2
cent stamps from the Pope Manu-
featuring Company, Hartford, Conn
