A Wholesale Rate for Wholesale Use

You don't expect to have merchant give
you wholesale rates for retail purchases.
For the same reason we can't give you low
rate of fare than 1-3c token 10c cash you
the Street Railways only because you have long way
to heavy package to carry bad weather to escape
and so forth.
But if you will use it freely to SAVE YOUR
TIME, in riding to and from business, going home
for lunch shopping person instead Of by phone visit
ing your friends your church. your lodge and your
theaters oftener, and will gladly give you
wholesale rate.
We are all the more ready to do this because
much of the service that offer is wasted anyway
especially the midday and evening riding could be
doubled without adding to the service.
When you buy the Unlimited Ride, Transfer
able Weekly Pass you longer have to count the cost
of each ride as up You have already paid for

"Just as have always told you," whispered the
Czarina quite dsarmed into the ear of her lord "A

Then Rasputin led the imperial couple out, after
he had presented the Gar with staff, bound with

there, said he, "and, God has just told me while
