Bicycle Repatrmen's Woes.

Bicycle repairmen are in position
to Judge the merits of the different
kinds of tires brought to them for
repairing. They are generally I'M
biased in their opinion as to which
tire is the best until they try to re-
pair it; then they soon find out
which is the easiest to repair, and
which stays repaired when 1t has
been fixed. The following from a
dealer end repairman in GAINESVILLE.
Tenn, may be Of interest to riders:
Single-tube tires are not at all pop
ular here, for nobody can repair them
when they have trouble. I consider
myself a pretty good repairman, and
I have never been able to plug one of
them so it would hold any length of
time. Nearly every rider of single
tubes here has changed for Morgan
& Wright.
Here is another from q repairman
in. New York city:
I have used M. & w. tires for the
last" three years, and the more /
handle them the better like them.
l repair, on an average, about one
M. & w. tire to i've sinkle-tube tires.
1t is not that there are only few
Nj. & WIS in THE district, but because
when they are once repaired they
don't break out again in the same
place, like single-tube.
A Cambridge City, Ind, man also
says: :" So ~' ".t . Z.
I think am a pretty fair work.
man, and believe can repair single
tube tire as often as anyone, but I
meet with failure oftener than sue
cess, and indeed, find that the single
tube is generally unsatisfactory. I
don't see what anyone can see IN a
tire of this type that recommends 1t.
Still another from Terra Haute,
Ind, bicycle firm:
T They can say what they want
about single-tube tires, but we no.
tice they give up and come back fer
the NJ. & w. when they want tire
that will give good satisfactory
service. We had no trouble at all
with the Morgan& Wright tires, and
are going to use them this year.
