Gle manufacturing in nearly all
countries of the world, even in
cluding modernized little Japan,
are thrilling to read Of.
These little horse-destroying
conveniences are now being
manufactured by the millions
instead of by the few hundreds
of ten or fifteen years ago, and
it is estimated by a cicylist
authority that they are at least
1000 different patents and de-
signs in connection with them.
But we note, in an English
exchange, the curious fact that
the palaces and parks of the
die-hard aristocracy are gradual
ly succumbing to the inevitable
and passing into the hands of
the cicyclist autocrats. The item
informs us that Trafford Park,
Sir H. de Trafford's seat near
Manchester, has been purchased
for e360,00O, ($1, ,SO0,00O) by
the syndicate which recently ac-
quired the Dunlop Tyre and
Singer Co. 1t is proposed to
make the estate the seat of the
cycle and rubber trade.
Now, we have made such a
success of our different brands
of wheels that our fame has
gone abroad. We have our own
predictions in favor of GER
tain make, but, when, unsoli-
we received consignment
of a popularity favorite brand
without a flaw, perfection itself,
in strength, beauty and shape
and manufactured by a world
wide known firm, we could not
be discourteous enough to return
them, without endeavoring to
put them on the market. The
fact is we have had six of those
celebrated Zimmerman cham
pion wheels for gentlemen sent
to us, and we invite cyclists to
call and inspect them and to use
their own judgement as TO
whether they want them or not.
AS they have been sent to us
ON consignment, we prefer to
sell them and close the consign-
ment, instead of returning them.
We therefore offer them at $40
each instead of at the regular
price of 800. We admit that
they are beauties and we don't
think they will be on our hands
for many days, but as we have
only half a dozen on hand, the
first applicant will have his
pick. They are first-class high
grade machines and very tempt
ing to experts.
