BICYCLE DAY, FEBRUARY 90.
What II Means.

A nation wide public recognition Of
the worth of the bicycle.
1t means that the bicycle has come
into its own. 1t means that the bicy,
Gle is better made today than ever
more comfortable, easier to ride, cas-
Ter to keep in proper condition.
1t means that people throughout the
country are beginning to realize the
worth Of the bicycle for health, recre
alton and economy.
And 1t means that with better made
wheels, better roads and public ap
proval there will be more men, won
en- and children riding bicycles this
year than ever before. That's why
we say 100000 bicycles in 1916.
We welcome you in our store on 81
