The past season has certainly beat en-
hll previous records in the selling OF
bicycles in this country, or the world
either. The record of Portland dealers
will snow that not only have their sales
been large, but it has been impossible for
them to secure enough wheels from the
factories to fill their orders. The PRESS
reporter called upon the dealers yester-
day. At H. W. McCausland's he learned
that they had sold about 400 new wheels
and could have sold 100 more if the
factories could have supplied them. OF
these about half were sold to Portland
parties.
At the John P. Lowell Arms Compay s
agency it was learned that they had sold
about 25O wheels, 200 of them in Port
land. They might have sold a third as
many more, if they had had the wheels.
At the T. B. Davis Arms Company they
had sold about $50 wheels, most Of them
scattered throughout Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont and very few OF
them in Portland. They were able to fill
only about two tn irds of their orders.
Haggett Bros. have sold 130 Wheels all
in this city, and might have sold 80 pei
cent more if they could have had them
from the factories.
r. o. Bailey s. Co. have sold about 200
wheels.
An estimate of the sales of other dealers
added to these foots up a total OF about
1,70O wheels sold by Portland dealers
during the past season.
The buying of bicycles has been a per-
feet craze all over the country this sum-
mer, Notwithstanding the fact that the
bicycles have been made SO light that
strength has been sacrificed. especially in
the tires and never before has there been
60 much need of repairs.
Already the factories are beginning to
make heavier tires and there will surely
be reaction next year from this craze
for light wheels, regardless of the
durability.
The above 1,7O0 wheels averaged in
value perhaps $50, which would make
total of $l36, 600 worth of whels sold by
Portland dealers
Besides these which are all new wheels,
there has been large business in second
hand wheels.
