Bicycles Help
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES

Telegraph companies estimate that
their service in suburban and rural
communities has been improved at
least % per cent. in late years
through the systematic use of hi
cycles. Boys lucky enough to possess
bicycles used them in messenger SER
vice as far back as twenty years ago,
OF course. but until recently there was
nc organized effort made to equip
the messengers with the swift and re-
liable two wheelers.
Some telegraph offices now supply
their messengers with bicycles, while
others make it easy for the boys to
purchase their own bicycles. In any
event the service is vastly improved.
the boys are kept in better physical
condition, and their all-rOund eff
cheney is notably increased.

follows a recording of several in
