Bicycles For Hire
A t Railroad Depots
In Switzerland
S witzerland has developed in
teresting money-saving plans to
encourage more vacationing into
the country.
Bicycles may be rented at most
railroad stations for use in visit
ing the city or nearby villages.
After the tour is completed the
hike is returned to the station
and the traveler takes the train
to the next city where he may
nrocure another biped if he so
desires.
The plan, which has been in op
eration a number of months, has
been most successful. Over a
thousand new three-gear bicycles
have been in use already. Th*»
rental is one dollar per day for
insured bikes.
Encouraging the visiting of
smaller towns is another move
in directing tourist trade. Prices
