VILLAIN DEVER WINS
new RANGER BICYCLE
Marie E. Lucey Among First
to Complete List in Every
Evening Contest.

! William Dever, living at 40s l-2
King street. was one OF the happiest
boys In all Wilmington this morning,
for he was advised that the Ranger
bicycle which he has won in Every
| Evening Contest for subscriptions
has arrived in this city and II will be
| delivered to him today or tomorrow.
William was one of the first of the
| boys I'm the city to get into the cam
paign and he has worked hard and
persistently in his efforts to secure
| the required thirty-five annual sub
seribers which number must be se-
cured to win one of the Ranger ma
chimes. He never gave up from the
time he got his subscription book and
the example this little fellow has set
is worthy TO be held up for the emula-
tion of all the others In the race. He
did not know what IL meant 20 lag
behind and he has been among the
top notchers from the start. Now his
efforts are rewarded by the free gift
of one of these handsome machines
and his delight is unhounded.
The Mead Cycle Company Of Chica-
60. the concern making the Ranger
bicycles which Every Evening is Civ
ing away, did not know there were so
many energetic boys and girls in
Wilmington and they have been sur
prised by the large numb of orders
| that are being sent 10 them every
week for the Ranger machines. They
are making them up and shipping
them as rapidly as possible and as
fast as the bicycles are received here
they are presented TO the winners in
the campaign.
Harvey Crcssgrove OF l007 Tatnall
street. Jake f.ipzen of zoe West
Eighth street. Morril Thornton Of so
East Fourth street. New Castle. and
Frank Jannuzzie of AIS East sixth
street are among the latest winners.
All Of tn sc have secured the re-
quired thirty-fve subscribers and all
viii receive one OF the Ranger bicycles
The machines have been ordered for
them and 1t is expected they will be
delivered within few days.
Many of the boys and girls not
only in the elty. but throughout the
state who are in the campaign have
secured close 10 their required num-
ber and it is only a question of few
days until they have completed their
lists. Marie +. Lucey OF 1919 Oak
street furnished an example Of this
today. She was in the campaign early.
but nothing had been heard from her
until Saturday. She walked into
Every Evening office and presented
the thirty-nve subscriptions she has
secured. Marie proved something of
surprise in the race and is therefore
among the first OF tha~girl contestants
/ to complete their list. Her subscribers
will be verified at once and as all of
them. undoubtedly. will prove up. II is
safe to assume that Marie viii be
awarded one Of the Ranger bicycles
within a short time.
There remains one month OF tht
campaign. Much can he accomplished
in that time. New entrants are coming
in daily, undaunted by the fact that
others have besn in the field ahead
Of them hut there in no reason why
this fact should deter them. There
[ is ample time and opportunity to get
thirty-fve subscribers for every boy
and girl who wants TO put forth the
effort and the late comers have just
as much chance as any of the others.
Therefore any boy or girl who wants
a bicycle for nothing can win one by
entering the campaign and getting
thirty-five annual subscribers and
when they have completed their list
| they will be surprised to realize just
how easy il was TO make a success ~
