TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue of the FREE
PREssE FUER TEXAS" has po-
sitively the largest circulation
of all German papers published
IN the State of Texas.
It has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-offices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to El
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts Of the
state.
Three travelling men and our
very active local agents are con
tinuously adding new sub
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the FREE PREssE FUER TEXAS
claims to be the best adver-
tising medium in the State of
Texas, where it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulation.
