Rocky Ford enterprise., 1896-05-28

We do not know that Rocky Ford
will ever become tho scat OF thu manu-
factory Of bicycles, but it already has the
honor OF having one wheel made within
the corporate limits. This first Rocky
Ford, 1896 model, wheel was made by
Roy La Pierre and is daily in use on our
streets. It is not a safety. but one OF the
kind most popular few years ago, with
one lurge and one small wheel. The largo
wheel once did service on fine buggy,
while tho small ono is a relic OF n boys
toy wagon. Gas pipe has been used
largely in the frame work, and the wheel,
racing safety, is a seryiceable one.
