"All the talk in the world will
not convince you SO quickly as
a trial that the Tribune is
almost perfection" The fore
going is absolute truth and
applies to all wheels that are
made by the Black Manufac-
turing Company. We wish to
speak of one wheel in particu-
lar this week; it is the model
G or in other words the Ladies
Tribune. We have one in the
store that we are anxious to
show people. 1t is without
any question the handsomest
wheel that has ever been ship
ped to this country and it is as
good as it looks. The wheels
are % inches front and rear
with piano wire tangent spokes,
% to front and 80 to rear
wheel; pneumatic tires and spe-
cial dust proof ball pedals.
The finish is black enamel with
nickel trimmings and spokes.
AS the quality of the enamel
used on a bicycle has much to
do with the appearance of the
entire machine, good mechani-
cal work must be backed by a
fine and durable finish. To
obtain this the makers of the
Ladies' Tribune use not only
the best quality of enamel, but
polish the work, carefully APP
ply and bake four successive
coats, and finally, polish the
whole until a proper lustre is
secured.
The nickel plating on the
Tribune Bicycles is of the most
quality and elegant
finish. The greatest care is
used in this important feature,
and no small parts sligthed.
piece is finely polished,
well coated with copper, then
covered with a heavy deposit
Of pure nickel, and carefully
bufed. The result is: The
Ladies' Tribune shines like
larkey's heel, only it is a pref
tier polish. This wheel is
narrow tread. This feature,
like other good things, has
been overdone by many, and
in some cases carried to an ex-
IRENE which has deprived both
and frame of their
proper strength. We believe
in a reasonably narrow tread,
and the tread in the Tribunes
will be found as narrow as it is
practical to make it and still
retain the stiffness of frame
for which the Tribune wheels
IRE noted. This Ladies wheel
IS fitted with a mud guard-a
precaution that is necessary in
ibis country where showers
md water carts are plentiful.
This bicycle is recommended
Us a thoroughly reliable wheel,
light, strong and easy running.
They have been well tested
md their superior is not made.
We have another good
Ladies' wheel in Monarch, |
Model IL. 1t is guaranteed to
stand up well and to ride easy.
It is very light weight, and as
strong as a diamond frame. 1t
stands two inches lower than
he Ladies Tribune. The
inish is jet black enamel with
ii bright parts heavily nickel
dated on copper. tits most
elegant wheel for ladies and |
he makers guarantee goes
With each one.
We are receiving a large
hare of the local bicycle bust
less and buyers are pleased
With the wheels purchased at
his store. We intend to sell
great many more wheels be-
ore the year is out because
he Tribune and Monarch
ycles are both standard makes
nd are marvels of beauty,
trength and swiftness.
