things the Australia brought |
us ten bicycles five for boys |
and an equal number for girls.
These wheels are from Demo
rest factory and are little beau
ties, are fitted with brakes aud
coasters and are perfect in
every detail We intend to.
sell every one of these wheels
before Christmas and the heads
of households are cordially in
vited to call and make an in
spection. We will not give
them away, because we are not
in business for our health only;
but we can say in an honest
manner that no fair offer will
be refused. Any sensible boy
or girl will prefer a handsome,
well-made and at the same
time, nota costly wheel to any
present you may mention. a
new saw says healthy outdoor
exercise creates a love for the
beautiful in Nature; a love tor
the beautiful DEVELOPS lovable
men and women; lovable men
and women make happy homes
happy homes create a wealthy
nation.
For adults we have mum.

wheels; none are better made
Terrill, the cyclist, says thai
Tribune wheels are all the &C
in the Eastern States. w,
sell these wheels at honesr
prices and warrant them t
give satisfaction. The opinion
has been expressed by many
that a high-grade bicycle car
be manufactured and profitably
marketed for forty dollars
This talks the veriest nonsense
Bicycles can be built for tina
sum. and marketed as well, bu
surely the intelligent purchase
can not reasonably expect t.
obtain a thoroughly high-grad'
mount for a great deal les
than the price now asked. The
high-grade bicycle of today il
tested in much the same man
= ner as the famous Kew Obser
= vatory in England test
watches. A watch bearing tn,
"Kew A certificate" can not b,
purchased under seven hun
bred and fifty dollars. The
ordinary watch of commerce
= can be had for fifty dollars. S.
it is with bicycles. The max
er's guarantee carries with i
t a bona fde offer to replace de
fective parts. Defects ant
i shortcomings are ascertainec
only after the most sever
tests. The employment o
skillful artisans and the costli
est machinery is utilized t.
remedy them. A high-grad'
bicycle leaves the factory will
the makers guarantee. Boil
the Monarch and Tribune arr
guaranteed. A bicycle may b'
built to look all right as far a
outside appearances go, for
comparatively small cost. L
is difficult to judge from ap
pearances whether a frame ha
, one coat of enamel or four, o
whether the plated parts hav
been run in nickel fifteen min
l utes or three hours. Also il
the mechanical work, it is no
easy to tell when looking at
e finished bicycle whether tn
a cones and bearing parts ar
: drilled, tapped and formed il
g one operation and used in tn
= shape they come from the frs
j. screw machine, or whethe
o they are formed over size an,
n then finished to gauge o
hardened arbors, at severa
S times the cost. The latte
e method means fine, accurat
n and easy running bearings tina
e can be perfectly adjusted, Will
II the parts finished in one opera
e ton are always more or les
eccentric, making it impossible
r to adjust the bearing so tina
e it will not be tight in one pos
o ton and loose in another
). There is probably no piece {
n machinery, except, perhaps,
: watch, where outside appear
II ances can cover as vast
d difference in quality as in
bicycle. The Tribunes ar
It high priced wheels, and tn
o dealer may recommend to
y rider machines on which h
g can make a larger profit, bu
n the purchaser of a Tribun
e may feel assured that he ha
S got the finest bicycle, in bot
e design, quality and finish, tina
good machinery and experienc
can produce.
