Can't Imagine Anything Easier
Says Frank Kennedy, As He
Gets Machine.

81 can't imagine anything easier
chan obtaining thirty-five new sub
scribers for The Washington Times
and getting possession of one OF
those $50 Ranger bicycles" said
Frank Kennedy. fourteen years old,
of Fort Myer, Va. today.
ut took me exactly two hours to
get my thirty-fve subscribers" he
continued. That was just 100 min
utes. The bicycle ] got Is worth $50
and looks all of that i ngure that
have been paid at the rate of SO
cents a minute. and / call that good
pay"
GETS 500 BICYCLE.
Kennedy turned in his thirty-fve
yearly subscriptions at 1922 + street
northwest Monday afternoon. Yes
terday they were verified and today
he called, selected a bicycle, and rode
1T home.
This eighth-grade school boy de-
livers a Washington Times route near
Fort Myer and made house-to-house
canvass while serving his customers.
He not only turned In 35 new yearly
subscriptions and got a $50 Ranger
bicycle free, but asked for another
pooN anu rhoTtiy ai'Ni
arriving home telephoned The WASH
ington Times that he had six subscrip-
tions toward a second bicycle. There
is no limit to the number of bicycles
any one contestant can win, nor Is
there any age limit for participants.
II thought II would take me two or
three days TO get the necessary num-
Der of yearly subscriptions" said
Frank, but they came to me fast sr
than | ever dreamed"
.EAGER TO SUBSCRIBER
1T stuck TO my own neighborhood
and most of the people ] approached
seemed eager to subscribe not only
to help me get this bicycle but to
save s5.1s a year by agreeing to
take The Washington Times for a
year.
II went to all the signers with
the verifiers and all but one of the
corroborated my state
ment that they had signed up for a
year. One officer at Fort Myer said
he had been ordered away and
therefore wished to cancel his sub
scription. This left me one sub
scriber short, but l simply stepped
next door to the residence of an
other officer and he readily sub
scribed for a year.
ut is the simplest thing I ever
heard of. and II other contestants
just simply set time limit for
themselves I am sure they will get
bicycles. am awfully proud of
this bike and / think The Wash
ington Times offer is most liberal"
Young Kennedy's statement is
precisely like that OF all the other
who have gotten free
bicycles. The unanimous opinion Is
that the offer is generous and the
required task easy and pleasant.
