Back then local organizations would put on bicycle safety courses for school children and you'd get some sort of "prize" for completing it and a sticker to put on your bike. Around here it was usually the Lions or Kiwanis clubs.
I say "kids'" because in looking into it online, it was said that they were kids' bikes. Our Schwinn Racer has 26" wheels. It is a rather short bike.
I also see that in the old advert. that you posted here (thank you, by the way!) it lists those Murray bikes as boys' and girls' – including the 26" wheel ones.
