Victoir Grade
In spe.ikinjr of bicycles, tht* expressions "High grad?, highest
grade," firx., hsve been so hard worked ;md so abuted th.it they have
become practically meaningless, and this fact h.is suggested fi? us the
words Victor Grade, which, to us. mean everything tiv.it is best in
m;ittri.tls and methods, because we are perfectly sincere m the belief
that our ro;id to success lies through the production ot" thc bicvele thai
will win your heart ;ind place vou among those who are not only our
friends but our champions,
We want to show vou what Victor erjde really means See us
