bicycle establishment He recognized the
necessity of a bicycle repair shop, and last
year he had q building put up, and put Mr..
): L. Bair, an expert machlnist, in charge
of it. 1t is the only repair shop between
Baltimore and Hagerstown. The building
was constructed so as to have salesroom as
well as repair shop, and on Liberty street.
this city, is about as complete a bicycle es-
tablishment as can be found anywhere outside
of large cities.
Mr.. Krichton took the agency of the Ram
bier bicycle in $780, but did not sell wheel
the first season. He was not discouraged,
however, and in 1891 he sold ten. The next
year he sold fifteen; the next 20. the next 35,
the next 80. He could have sold more in
1895 had the factory been able to supply them
So far this year he has sold &c. by judicious
advertising in the ADVOCATE. and his sales are
likely to reach so or 100 before the frosts of
fall. While the Rambler is the only high
class machine he sells, he has in stock wheels
OF various makes, ranging in price from $40
mp.
Mr.. Krichton is not in accord with the AD-
yoCATE politically, but he recognizes the
the paper as y reliable advertising medium,
and with him .'hqsiness is business. He is
an energetic young man, and as genial as
enrgetic. He is one of the kind that
ought to succeed, and will succeed. He was
born in McSherrystown, Pa, about 81 years
ago. He removed with his parents 10 Balti,
more twenty years ago, and ut the age OF
thirteen began the study of telegraphy. He
became an expert operator, did some special
work, and about sixteen years ago was sent TO
Westminster to manage the lines of the West
cru Union. The bast evidence of his entire
satisfaction is the fact of his long service.
The business of telegraph operator is too
slow and monotonous for his progressive
spirit. He has launched into the bicycle bust
ness with the intention of making it success,
and the chances are he will succeed. While
he has the best equipped establishment in the
state outside Of Baltimore, it is only begin
ming of the plans he has in view. He has
made the bicycle study, and his object is to
have bicycle mandatory here. He knows
the cost to build bicycles, and believes they
can be manufactured as cheaply here as any
place in the country.
