GAY NINETIES
Homer DeSlover, local bicy-
Gle dealer, expected a response
from his recent Daily Monitor
ad which said he would buy
used bikes, but he hardly fig
ured on an opportunity to buy
a two-wheeler.
But that, my friends, is ex-

whose name escapes Homer
at the moment brought in
the bike, estimated to be at
least so years old. The bike
now Is part Of q patriotic dis
play in one Of Homer's win
dows where 1t already has at
tracted wide attention. p. S.
He got plenty Of bikes from
three to five years old, too.
