Quality and Price.

Columbia bicycles have been for
many years the standard OF the world,
unequaled, unapprOached. Although
the price has been so greatly reduced,
the quality is and always will be the
best that human ingenuity can make.
How often you hear the remark; "As
good as "A Columbia or 81 would
have purchased "A Columbia, but got
this az a discount" The price Is now
within the reach of every one who
wants the best. No matter how much
higher bicycle is listed, 10 cannot be
sold for more than the price Of Co
lumbia. They are always sold at the
list price, and everybody knows that
the one price Il always the lowest.
The great bulk Of the people prefer To
purchase in stores where goods are
sold at one price and where all are
treated alike. When any article is
listed above its value, 10 Is sold at "A
cut price and at different prices to diff
ferent customers, so that no one
knows whether he buys at the bottom
price or not.
The Pope Company believes, with
these new prices, that they give the
most for the money that has ever been
offered. and yet have not sacrificed
quality. Columbia, when applied to
"A bicycle, means, and always Will
mean, the BEST that can be made.
