mat ne tribune wheel WIS
md is the best wheel in this
,r any other market. We
never advertise what we
haven't got-it is bad business
policy. Abraham Lincoln wise
" 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 a 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 rider machines
on which he can make a larger
profit, but the purchaser of 6
, Tribune may feel assured that
r he has got the finest bicycle, IL
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 racin!
, machines, and have refraine'
, entirely from hiring men t.
: ride our bicycles in races or t
t break records, the tribune race
y has, nevertheless, earned
+ wide reputation as an extremel.
e fast and easy running machine
n and many riders in Honolulu
, have chosen it as their mount
S The Cycloidal sprocket has, w
believe, much to do with tn
popularity of this wheel, as it
e advantages in sprinting are be
: yond all question, and racing
/ men who have given it a tria
could not now be induced t
. ride without it. In support {
this, take for instance, the re
cent field day of the loca
!, athletic club. The Tribun
q won three times and came i
4 second three times. The Co
g umbia won two races, while tn
;. yellow Fellew" and Ramble
d were tie for third place. Tn
"a fact tells us again that Th
- Tribune is the best. 1t is
- pleasure to sell this wheel; Il
" buyer ever returns claimin
ID that he was "buncoed;" on tt
e. contrary, purchasers are plea
10 ed with the wheels and recon
"a mend the same to their friend
ID They know that The TribuI
W is a bicycle of the very be
y quality; they know that in poll
of workmanship it stands u
os equalled; they know that evel
n detail of their constructic
n, marks the extreme limit know
he in bicycle manufacture, al
es the quality and finish of tt
be bearing parts are an educate
an to those who are unused to tn
os class of work. The Tribul
III frames are joined entirely wit
at steel forgings. In selecting
d. good bicycle, see that tt
nd frame joints are all steel for
a ings mo castings.) That Il
d. hubs OF both 'front.' ana re
la wheels are each cut from o.
he piece, either Of bar steel or
ar steel forging. Assure yours
Tor that the bearings are
ct tool steel, and are drawn to
straw color; also, that the for
are made of tapered steel tn
w. ing and not of sheet me,
be formed over, with the sea
ITS brazed on one side. If t
lid bicycle you purchase is built
III the above manner, and t
ess work carefully and accurate
it done, you will get a good whe
he whether it be a Tribune
lie not.
