The Cycle Industry in the United
States.

The Cycle Industry in the United
States.
The history of the bicycle industry in
the states is in many respects the most
remarkable industrial record of the
country. Prior to 1885 the number of
domestic manufacturers of wheels "a
only six and in that year 1000 ma
chimes were turned out. In 1890 there
were seventeen factories. with an out
put of 10000 cycles. In 1894 the num-
Der of factories increased at a rapid
rate, and 125,0OO machines were made.
In 1895 the production bounded up to
100000, and the number of manufac-
tories was more than 800. counting
none which turned out less than 1000
machines a year. The capital invested
in these larger factories is placed at
100000, 900, and the lowest estimate of
the output of the present year is 1000
600 completed bicycles, worth 100000
600, The capital invested in the manu-
facture of bicycles is about $12J, 100000
and 10000 people are employed in de-
signing, making and selling the various
products appertaining to them. No
complete cycles are o imported into
the United States. and the American
manufacturers. in the half-year ending
June 80. 1896, exported cycles and parts
worth 81 ,654.291, or nearly seven times
the amount sent abroad in the previous
h~alf-year. Nearly half of this export
has gone to England, and it is now
said that American makers actually
stand a chance of capturing the English
market. If the American manufactur-
ers will build a somewhat stronger ma
chine. fitted with gear cases and mud
guards, it is looked upon as more than
probable that from 10000 to 10000
American cycles will he sold in Eng
land in the year 1897. In 1895 the best
bicycles were selling at $40; now the
same quality of neutrality-suspicious. much
better-sells at 500. More than 3.OOO.-
coo bicycles are in use in the United
States. in other words. one person out
of every twenty-four has taken to the
wheel. In France the proportion is
only l in $50. The wheel is unqucs-
tionably going to rcvOlutionize the
roads of the country. 1t has reduced
and in some places practically put an
end to the demand for horses and car

his last stack when Arizona Jake en-
