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 is
mailed to $50 post-ofices, and
has an extended circulation in
Mexico, in the Indian Territory,
and in Oklahoma.
1t circulates from Galveston
to Denison. from Marshall to Ell
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts of the
state. as also in Mexico.
Two tlavenng men and our
very active local agents are con-
tinuously adding new sub
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the "FREIE PREssE FUER TEXAS"
claims to be the best adver-
tising medium IN the State of
Texas, when it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulatlon.
