II is interesting to note the rise and fall
of bicycle prices during the last twenty lone
years. 1t 1877 well known high grade
wheel sold for $3.50 In six years the price
had advanced to $l42,50. In 1885 the "ordi-
nary or high wheel, reached it's highest
value, and the best grade sold for $3.50.
This price gradually dropped until in 1887
the best wheel sold at $3.50. In 1883 the
rear driving safety made its appearance and
sold for $135, and four years later, when
pneumatic tires were added. the price was
$780, From then the price steadily de-
clined. Bicycle manufacturers sprung up
all over the country like mushrooms, and in
1897 the best grade safety sold for 800 and
was guaranteed for one year. The chain
less bicycle enjoyed its first boom last year.
and this again raised the price to $125.
The chain wheel, however. decreased in
price. At the present time the best chain
less is sold for $40 and the chain wheel for
$50. There are many wheels on the market
that sell for a great deal less than $780, and
as thousands OF these are in use they seem
to afford satisfaction.
