4 WONDERFUL INVENTION.
II Involved tho Expenditure vfi Fortune
ForsoOth.

The impression that has gone abroad
throughout our country that one of the
greatest Industries OF the past decade
was on the decline Is q mistaken one.
During the exceedingly dull times from
1892 10 1896 there was no industry that
gave employment To such an army OF
first class mechanics and tool makers as
did the bicycle business.
IL possibly reached It's zenith in 1895, at
which time the prices for high grade
bicycles began TO decline very rapidly,
until now instead OF $50, being the price
of a high grade bicycle. one-third of that
buys the best there is on the market and
oue-haIf of the latter amount buys a
mount that the majority Of cyclists are
using.
The manufacturers of bicycles went
through n long seige OF experimental
work, the Most costly Of any industry I'm
the history of QUO country. and by con-
stant and untiring efforts brought the BIZ
cycle 10 it's present high standard at
medium cost. IL is safe To say that had
IL not been for pneumatic tires the bi-
cycle would never have come into gem
eral use. This was the one invention that
made it popular almost from the start.
About four years ago another inven-
tion was brought out that has proven the
second greatest invention ever added 10
this popular device. lt was not like the
in that the trade wanted IL at sight but
it required months and years OF patient.
persistent work 90 convince the public
that it was what the manufacturers and
inventors claimed FOR IT.
The device is known now as the Nor
row Coaster and Brake. III was put on
the market by the Eclipse Bicycle Co. "A
concern that for ten years had made the
bicycle carrying its name. and which had
been sold extensively all over the world.
Last year the company had to spend a
small fortune for machinery and tools,
with which TO make this device. but man
ufactured the large number OF 135. 900 OF
the brakes, which were sold In nearly all
parts of the world
At present the factory. Ga very large
one), is being operated day and night.
and has been for the past year IL has
now capacity OF more than one thou
sand brakes per day, which are going 70
cyclists I'm all parts OF the civilized
world The advantage of this well known
device Is that a cyclist always has hts
or her mount under control, and when
going down a slight incline or hill the
feet can rest perfectly still on the pedals,
and in case the speed Is too much accel-
Grated \ slight backward pressure of
either pedal will set the brake automati-
cally.
The we'll known Morrow Coaster Brake
of the Eclipse Manufacturing company Is
a device which IL in predicted by manu-
facturers will soon be on every bicycle in
1 e known world.--Ithaca Daily Journal.
