"Earning" MY First American Flyer Train Set
1. An ad in the Chicago Tribune
2. Sell over 24 subscriptions - win (hard earned) a train set!
3. Subscriptions for 1 year-verified sold door to door up and down 4 story walk-ups, took months of many stairs and many apartment bldgs.
4. Finally got the required verified subscriptions signed up.
5. Going downtown to the "Trib" to pick up my prize for selling subscriptions.
6. The "Trib" , elevator to the "top" the large floor of desks, impressions
7. The desk, the choice of prizes, the "reward" for all that work.
8. A brand new A.C. Gilbert American Flyer freight or passenger train set.
9. The choice: A large , heavy box, with a passenger train, a steam engine with choo-choo, smoke and whistle , 4 aluminum lighted passenger cars with silhouettes , track, and transformer.
10. Carrying that box...could barely get under arms, beaming pride, the trip home on the subway.
