RECORD WHEEL AND RIDER.
THIRTY MONTHS OLD NORFOLK
TOT WHO CAN RIDE WE'LL

SO far as we know Norfolk may now
claim the youngest bicycle rider in the
south, If not in the world. This little
pedalller is the Economics son of
Mr.. N. B. Joynes.. and Santa Claus
was given q special contract to build
model little bicycle for him.
Sometime ago his little brother let
the baby ride on his own wheel and
the little fellow was such an apt pupil
that he was riding the wheel as If it
was an old thing with him.
When the baby's newest accomplish
ment was told to Mr.. Joynes he de-
cided then and there to have built for
the baby one of the finest wheels that
skilled mechanics could construct. The
result is model little bicycle built
like watch and as pretty as q new
red wagon, that can be seen today in
the show window of A. A. O'Neill 6.
Bro.
The bicycle frame is IL inches high
and is made Of regular sized tubing.
The Wheels are 16 inches, fitted with
pneumatic tires. The seat Is the small
est sized child's saddle and the color
is black. 1t was made by the Shelby

Read What PadereWski Has TO Say
About the Huntington Plano.

All of the high grade piano manu-
facturers have used their brains. money
and Skill to perfect Il medium grade
piano at n moderate price. to meet the
demands of people who are not able to
purchase Artistic Instruments. such as
the Knabe and Stcinway. When you
take into consideration that the whole
sale price of Knabe or Steinway
Pianos is the retail price of other in
struments, you may then realize what
an undertaking the Huntington Piano
Company had before them. An instru-
ment that will fill the wants of such
artists as Pederewski or Sauer have to
be as near perfection as 1t is possible
to build. The tone must be sympa-
thetic, sonorous and must possess that
clean singing quality that is 50 much
sought for by concert pianists, but only
found in a few makes of pianos. Pa
derewski is the king of piarfiSts and
when he gives a testimonial 1t must
be of unusual merit. The Huntington
Piano will prove n revelation to those
purchasers who desire an instrument
that has all the fine qualities of an
artistic instrument at Il moderate
price.
would suggest that If they wish to
leave their children an heirloom inves-
tigate the qualities of the Huntington
Piano. In order to introduce these in
strnments III re will be a special price
made to immediate purchasers. Ames

lima, West Virginia and South Carolina
for these pianos. This firm is the
oldest and largest in Norfolk. We
would advise by all means visit to
their warcrooms, 100 Main street, sec
ond door from old postoffice, before
purchasing, as the beautiful musical
tone of the Huntington Piano is oging
to make an unusual impression.

Aside from the banana, probably the
consumption OF oranges is Increasing
faster than any other fruit. Within
the past year the local market has
been largely supplied with the West
Indian and Central American oranges
on account of the establishment here
of large fruit steamship line by the
Norfolk and West India Fruit and

have a distinctive flavor, much admir-
ed by consumers. and being shipped
in barrels arrive here in the best OF
condition. The local demand for
bananas is supplied from the same
sources and by the same company
above named. They also now supply
this market Wit, cocoanuts and quaint
tiles of lemons.
In the line of domestic fruits the
apple is king. and this is here in ample
quantities to meet the great demands
of the holidays. The favorite varie-
ties in Norfolk are the King Tomlin
Sweet. Gilflower. The Baldwin, a
coarser highly colored apple of great
keeping Qualities, is handled here in
the largest quantities. The Albemarle

of apples and the highest priced apple
in the world. although Virginia
product, is only here In limited guam

In other domestic fruits the markets
offer pears and cranberries. In dried
fruits there is an abundance such as
pears. peaches, prunes, apricots, cur
rants. raspberries, whortleberries and
blackberries. There are also plenty of
figs and dates and fine table grapes
