Sterling
Bicycles

For four years we have sold
and recommended the Sterling"
as the standard bicycle. In all
that time we have never had one
come back, nor have we been
asked to replace this wheel with
another.
We originated the arch crown
fork, and have never had one
broken.
Some people seem to think
that this years price is the Sc
quence of depreciation in quality.
This is absolutely not true. If
possible, the wheel is better than
ever. 1t is better in so far as
time and experience improves
bicycle making.
We sell and guarantee the
'"Sterling" wheel. We allow the
expert or amateur his or her
choice in saddle, tire, gear, ham
die bars, size and color. We can
fill any order-man's or womans
at once.
The price of the Sterling" is
$50; chainless, $75-and the
chainless is an even seller. II
YOU can furnish satisfactory RET.
erences we will sell you the
wheel on easy terms.

whose work was barely accomplished
before his sudden death of December

Gomez alleges that his army con-
uistr OF 10000 men. and he Insists that
most Of them shall be paid for three

Gomez has also about twenty major

erals. each rated. according to the
United States army pay table. nt $500
annually. This aggregates the nice sum
OF tJ.7ta.000 FOR generals alone; then
there are colonies. lieutenant colonies
and majors. whose numbers run into
the thousands.
The prlvatea do not amount 10 much
for they arc comparatively few, but
zach OF them viii require t5is, and the
