Charming illustration of the backside view of two children, a boy and a girl, peering out a window. They are both wearing straw hats and the girl has a long braid down her back with a ribbon at the end of it. When this page is flipped over, the front view showing their faces and what they are looking at is visible. They are pouring a bucket of water on a man and woman, as the man is affectionately holding the woman around her waist, a group of men gather at a water pump to take a drink with their bicycles parked nearby. In the background, a couple of men ride bicycles and a farmer is plowing his field with a horse driven plow. The back of the advertisement shows various men in different professions riding bicycles such as a doctor, a lawyer and a postman, as well as two women the country girl and city girl.
