BICYCLING IN HOLLAND.
The ReasOHs Why the American
Wheel Has Not Grown Popular

Frank d. Hin, United States Consul at
Amsterdam, writes to the State Depart
ment that only high class American BIZ
cycles are sold in The Netherlands He
says that the people in that country have
no confidence in machines that sell for
less than $40.
The trouble with all American hi
cycles Mr.. Hin adds. lis said T. ne that
the factories are too far away, while
American sundries are different from Eu-
ropean sundries, the consequence being
that dealers have to keep in stock great
number Of The former, or their customers
must wait until the pieces come from the
United States, which often takes six
weeks or longer: freights are always very
7high for small sundries. but this will now
lie improved by the parcel post; most
single-tube tires. which are not popular
here. so that the merchants have to buy
double-tube tires at prices ranging from
s. TO 81, while the manufacturer makes
a reduction OF only s. for the single tubes.
American manufacturers prefer sight
draft against bill Of ladinE, while Euro
pean manufacturers give credits of from
three To six months, the result being that
during last season more German bicycles
were sold here than cheaper American
grades

machines $40 to SO; chainlcss machines,
$50 20 500.
