1898 BICYCLE PRICES.
Rambler People Announce Another Pop
Mar Reduction--S60 the Mark.

Bicycle prices for 1895 are out The
Gormully q Jeffrey Manufacturing Com
pany. Of Chicago, makers OF Rambler
bicycles. have again taken the lead, and
announce that they have decided 10 es-
tablish 500 as the list price of their lS'S
standard wheels. with 1897 Ramblcrs,
while they last, at $50. Tandems will sell
for 500.
Just one year ago this concern startled
the trade by announcing new list price
OF $50 on 1897 wheels. thus making the
hrst break from the 800 list. Other bicy-
Gle manufacturers declined 10 openly meet
the reduction. which the Rambler people
realized the public demanded and were
entitled TO, stand they regretted before
the season was far advanced. Again con-
ditions have changed. Prices have this
year been reduced all along the line. sub
rosa If not openly. and people have been
educated thereby 10 expect a still further
list price reduction for the com
ing year And they will not be
disappointed. The new Rambler
certainly indicate that the price re-
duction has not followed a cheapening
process of manufacture as regards mate
rails and finished workmanship, as a more
attractive line Of these popular wheels
has never been shown on the other
hdnd, many new Improvements are olltr-
ed
The reduction in price Of these and
other strictly high-grade bicycles Is only
natural and 20 be expected. wonderful
strides are being made each year along
the line of invention Of labor-saving ma
chinery. This machinery is very expen-
sive indeed. and TO keep factory tho
roughly up 10 date in the matter OF equip
mcnts entails an immense annual invest
ment and practically unlimited resources.
The Gormully x Jeffery Manufacturing
Company has shown q wonderful faculty
for feeling the public pulse and gauging
the public purse. IL has read the times
Alright. and simply discounted the future
OF course. II is fortunate in having ample
capital. so that no sooner does an i'm
proved device appear on the market than
il is installed in the Rambler works.
Another factor not 10 be ignored Is the
fact that the concern In question makes
its own steel tubing. tires. rims and sad
dies, and is not subject TO the caprice OF
the bicycle supplies market Whatever
the means which makes this price re-
duction possible. the announcement will
be received by the cycling public with
greatest satisfaction.
