Any successful industry compels attene
ton, and for this reason the making OF
bicycles and all that pertains thereto, mas
Tais. of course. is accentuated by the
fact that everybody, and exerybodys
neighbor. is awheel, and that from its
nondescript position of five years ago as
a novel and somewhat expensive article
CT amusement. the wheel has forged
ahead until it has now usurped the place
of horse and carriage. OF makes of
wheels there is no end, but of pneumatic
tires, whereby the air is harnessed to
the rim, it is a well known fact that
one concern practically controls the
trade. fitting with their output seventy
per cent. of all wheels used in. America.
This firm is Morgan & Wright of Chi
cage, who's name is a synonym for
trade lfberality and vast but sagacious
methods of advertising. Their CONNER
cial history reads like a romance, for in
four years they have earned a world
wide reputation. Their latest originality
consists in sending out q special private
car, with ten bright statesmen, on a Wig
orous campaign throughout the larger
cities. This good tire" team arrives in
Jersey City, Monday, and will talk Nor
gan & Wright quick repair inner-tube
tires for a day or SO to the local trade.
A general invitation is issued to the
cycling public to call at the car Monday
evening, at the Pennsylvania Depot.
Unique entertainment is promised, and
ladies will receive a beautiful souvenir.
