some time ago and declared
that The Tribune wheel was
and is the best wheel in this
or any other market. We
never advertise what we
haven't got-it is bad business
policy, Abraham Lincoln wise
ly remarked once: "You can
fool all the people sometimes.
You can fool some of the peo-
pie all the time. But you
can't fool all the people all the
time" Any one who buys a
Tribune is not fooled. 1t is
the best and it is a good
scheme to always get the best;
cheaper in the end. Our
promises are backed up by all
Tribune riders. The Scientific
American, in recent number,
praises the wheel in an honest
manner. 1t says The Tribune
is the best and gives reasons
why it leads all others. We
have received a number of 1896
models, both for ladies and
gentlemen. They are improv-
ed in several parts and stand
without a rival for appearance
and worth. You have seen
our tandem wheel. The
boys say it is all right. The
Tribunes are high priced
!, wheels, and the dealer may
recommend to a rider machine,
on which he can make a large
, profit, but the purchaser of
e Tribune may feel assured tina
r he has got the finest bicycle, il
t both design, quality and finish
+ that good machinery and ex
, perience can produce. While
, we have made no effort to ad
=. vertise the Tribune, wheels
through the medium of racini
= machines, and have refraine
}. entirely from hiring men t
:, ride our bicycles in races or t
: break records, the tribune race
l. has, nevertheless, earned
: wide reputation as an extremel
e fast and..easy running machine
and many riders in Honolulu
. have chosen it as their noun
e The Cycloidal sprocket has, W
i believe, much to do with tn
: popularity of this wheel, as it
d advantages in sprinting are be
yond all question, and racin
a men who have given it a tris
it could not now be induced
l. ride without it. In support {
h this, take for instance, the re
er cent field day of the loo;
or athletic club. The Tribur
at won three times and came
n. second three times. The Co
at umbia won two races, while I'll
at "Y elbow Fellew" and Rambl'
Id were tie for third place. TIL
il fact tells us again that II
st Tribune is the best. 1t is
ty pleasure to sell this wheel; |
r. buyer ever returns claimir
as that he was 'buncoed;" on I'll
W contrary, purchasers are plea
y ed with the wheels and recon
mend the same to their friend
They know that The Tribul
y is a bicycle of the very be
- quality; they know that in poll
IN Of workmanship it stands u
., equalled; they know that evel
al detail of their constructit
nc marks the extreme limit know
az in bicycle manufacture, al
A;y the quality and finish of Il
II bearing parts are an educate
u to those who are unused to tn
~ class of work. The Tribul
VI frames are joined entirely wi
u steel forgings. In selecting
ne good bicycle, see that Il
IS frame joints are all steel for
&c ings mo castings.) That Il
IS hubs of both front and re
u wheels are each cut from O
n piece, either of bar steel or
40 steel forging. Assure yours'
ne that the bearings are
Is tool steel, and are drawn to
ne straw color; also, that the for
IS are made of tapered steel tn
G OF ing and not of sheet met
ny formed over, with the sea
brazed on one side. If t
bicycle you purchase is built
- the above manner, and Il
70. work carefully and accurate
N done, you will get a good whe
-, whether it be a Tribune
90 not.
