How
To Get

Bicycle

Everybody wants a good Bicycle, but
everybody cannot obtain one, because a
good wheel is rather expensive to those of
moderate means. Listen, now while
THE WEEKLY HERALD tells you how
to secure as good wheel as the market
boasts. You know THE HERALD is a
popular paper in Southern California,
don't you? (We are trying to make IL
such, at any rate, and a good many peo-
pie seem to think we are succeeding.)
And you know that it it is not a very diff
ficult matter to secure subscribers for it,
don't you?
Now the point of all this is that THE
HERALD PUBLISHING COMPANY is
going to give away one OF the famous
Stearns Bicycles, and you are invited to
enter the competition for its ownership.
The gift will be made to the person who
sends in the greatest number of new SUBJ
scribers to THE WEEKLY HERALD by
July 1, 1S95-and unless you have the
ready cash to pay for bike" there
isn't an easier way in the world to secure
one.
