it. The first is that SO many folks of

love the stuff that they prefer laws with

is that il is true of most men who be-

they get to be incorporate Of speech

More About
Bicycles

Perhaps you are one of the
men who thought that one
bicycle was as good as an
other and you bought a
cheap bicycle, fitted with low
grade tires, and the bicycle
was always broken down
when YOU wanted to ride,
and thc wheels dragged like
they had sand bags on them
instead Of rubber, and you
got disguised with cycling
and could not see the fun in
it. Ofcourse you could not.
a man who has ever ridden
a good wheel would not ride
one Of that kind ifyou would
give it to him. If you have
not already disposed of it
get rid Of it as soon as YOU
can and come in and let me
sell you a 1904 Rambler or
Racycle fitted with tires that
will make you feel like you
are riding on air and a
Coaster Brake that will save
you one-third of the work
and enable you to descend
the stcepest hills with safety,
andget a saddle that fits you.
OF course a bicycle of this
kind will cost you a little
more, but what is a few dol
lars compared with the luxu-
ry OF riding a high-grade
wheel and knowing when
you start on a trip that you
will not have to walk home.
Think it over.
