A, Chance to Get a Wheel Free

" GRACE A. SAUNDERS has been selling bicycles for

over seven years.
In that time he has sold thousands of wheels, and his

guarantee has ever been found as good as a bond.
Every wheel sold by him is of first~class workmanship

and of the highest grade.

For nearly two years he has been in business at his
, prvsent stare, No. 12 North Main street, South Norwalk,
and has been most successful, his large sales increasing each season.

One reason for his success is that he issfirm believer 1n printers ink and
uses it freely and to the best advantage, believing that keeping everlasting-
ly at it' 18 bound to bring the desired result.

His business thus far this season has surpassed his most sanguine ex
pectations, his so) es being semething enormous in the bicycle line.

He is not yet satisfied, however, and proposes to stir up the riders of the
silent steed by giving away one of his bicycles to the most popular wheel-
manor whee1 woman in Fairfleld county.
