Tho Price Attracts.

The great desire of the purchasing
public is to got an article little below
the ruling rates. Even if the difference
amounts to but penny or two the es-
tablishment which offers that advantage
will be busy, while houses asking the
penny or two more will be idle. Re-
member this principle in stating prices
for your "ads." If what you have to
offer is quoted at figure a little be-
low its usual price you'll find no difficulty
In disposing of it.-Philadelphi Item.

PlNKHAM g. WILLIS.

This firm sells all the wheels made by
the Pope Manufacturing Company
Columbias, Hartfords and Vedettes, and
the display at the opening yesterday
was such as to please all lovers of
these wheels. A large part of the floor
space in the centre of the establish
ment was given up to bicycles and was
decorated with palms. The attendance
all day was all that could be expected
and those in attendance were given
work enough to explain the new feat
ures Of the we'll known bicycles.
Some of these new features on the
Columbias are the black and gold
striped rims, the new narrow tread, the
extra long wheel base and the direct
draw in putting in the spokes A num-
Der of the new wide handle bars were
shown. These bars are placed an inch
or more in front of the head, and the
width prevents the knees striking in
turning a sharp corner. The tires are
smaller this year than they were last,
Ia inches being the average size used.
The orders have been largely for low
22-inch frames so far, and the firm
says that a large order for the chain
less wheel will be sent in at once to be
ready for the demand that Is expected
to come when spring arrives. On the
chainless wheels a simpler arrange-
ment for Tightening the bevel gear has
been put on this year. which does away

case when the crank becomes loose.
In the windows were q number of
wheels of all the styles In both the
chainless and chain models.

About o'clock yesterday morning
the bell rung and Mrs. Putnam arose
to answer it. The usual salutation OF

as the "hello' at the other end of the
tube came from a female voice, Mrs
Putnam opened the door.
She found a young woman standing

BOSTON STORE.

1t would have been hard for even an
expert to have determined yesterday
which was the greater attraction at
the Boston Store, bicycles or bonnets,
but it is safe to say that by far the
larger number of the thousands Of pat
rons OF this immense er1.porium wend-
ed their way Wheelward to the Hastily
arranged rooms where We're displayed
the machines which have been handled
by this concern for SO many years.
Bert c. Livermore, who was in charge
OF the display, was busily engaged all
day explaining the advantages of some
OF the new features of the wheels upon
which the makers claim superiority,
The Heating, the Lenox ana the FAY
Juvenile attracted the due share Of
attention, and presented an attractive
appearance placed in a miniature for
est of evergreen and palms.
The window display was the centre
of attraction both day and evening
The background was hung in purple
and white streamers, and the wheels
were punched in banks that set them
off in way to show the good points
of each variety. There We're high
priced wheels and wheels for the null
titude for ladies and for gentlemen.
for boys and for girls In fact there
was something for everybody.
The Boston Store is making a spe-
cialty of the Lenox in a low priced
machine, and for the money they ask
for it, it would seem to be the best
running machine yet produced. That is.
| that is the impression that the aver
| age bicycle layman gained from eur
sorry inspection of the varied display.

G. F. CLARK.

Although George r. Clark is a new
conner in the list of those who supply
the demand for wheels in this city, he
seems to have gained the confidence of
the people who are devotees of the
wheel, and the wheels that he carries
are prime favorites with large num-
Der of cycle enthusiasts. At his open
ing display yesterday his machines
showed off to advantage
The feature of his display was the
new Burwell ball and roller bearing
which is attached to the Cleveland
wheel. 1t is claimed that by the use
of this bearing, friction is reduced to
a minimum. 1t surely claimed the at
tention of the curious wheel public yes
terday. and If the opinions expressed
as to its merits are indicative of the
purchasing public, then the wheel is
to have great run during the season.
Aside from the Cleveland ehainless,
the Rambler cycles with fish-mouthed
reinforced lay brazed joints, was the
most taking wheel with the public. Mr..
Clark displayed a large line of wheels,
including such well-known bicycles as
the Tribune. the Adlake, the Eldredge
and the Relay and the Clipper chain

GEORGE il. ooRBeTT 6 co.

This firm sells the Crown and Sears
bicycles for the better class OF trade,
and the Dixie and Elk in the cheaper
grades. There was shown a complete
display of all the makes, with attend
ants ready to explain the virtues of all
the varieties.
The Crown wheel is the old Rich
mond in some of the details, and the
cushion frame is the special feature OF
the road wheel. The weight of the
Crown wheel has been reduced since
last year, and an internal binder has
been placed in the seat post to take
the place of the nut used formerly.
The Speirs wheel besides being OBJ
tainable In the regular chain style, is
shown with the Sager chainless gear
One of the wheels which attracted the
most attention here was an extremely
high-geared racer with large front and
rear sprocket wheels. This wheel
weighs 20 pounds, and is warranted to
lass everything on the track if the
right man is pushing it.
The Dixie and Elk wheels have flush
joints and drop-forgings throughout
and are well made bicycles. No sun
dries were exhibited here, as the firm
prefers to pay all its attention to BIZ
cycles. A number of orders were la
ken during the day. and in the even
ing the crowd was so large as to tax
the patience of the attendants.
