Having been asked by my patrons
TO handle good wheel, lower in price
than the Rambler, have decided on
the Chicago Ideal" and expect a
sample to-day The Rambler Com
pany have these wheels made and
fitted with wood rims and tires just like
those on the Rambler Boys and girls
size will be $500; ladies aud gents
$500 and 5000 They are an
excellent wheel for the money. ! think
the Rambler is the cheapest wheel on
earth, but the Ideal will suit those
who do not want TO put $4,000 IN a
wheel. Please call aud see them.
thank you for past favors--they are
appreciated. j. w. Vincent, .Jeweler.
