Bicycles Better Now.
At Far Lower Price
Commenting on the bicycle as a
factor in modern business a
prominent local dealer says:
“It’s odd how many people are
unaware of the importance of the
bicycle in every-day life. A man
may walk up almost any of our
streets and pass fifty bicycles. If
you ask him how many he has
seen he probably will tell you two
or three. We’re so used to seeing
bicycles that they no longer regis
ter on the mind.
“From a manufacturing stand
point, the bicycles of today which
retail for from $30 to $40 as
against $125 apiece in the old
days, are much better than their
ancestors. They are lighter,
stronger, the tubing is far su
perior, the rubber better, the ac
cessories much more durable.
“Bicycles are used extensively
by farmers and farm hands in the
oil fields by cotton pickers, by
stores for quick delivery purposes
—in thousands of places we never
give a thought to. So you see the
bicycle is still with us as a
genuinely important cog in the
complicated mechanism of the in
dustrial nation. So long as peo
ple want to move faster than a
walk and dont want to invest in
a motor car, there will be a strong
demand for bicycles. The steady*
improvement in our national road!:
system augments this demand, and
I predict a regular development is j:
the number of good wheels man®-!;
factored annually.
“More new bicycles are sold te-|
day in many towns and cities annJ ;j
their surrounding territories thaw I.
new automobiles. This fact vr3!
surprise many of our readers who
have entertained the notion that
the bicycle went out of favor as a1
pleasure vehicle a generative urn..;
As a matter of cold, hard faeSsv ;
more and better bicycles are
in America each year than at asy
other period in the history of the j
industry.”
PURDY’S PHILOS
“The feller who is fraid of being
wrong once in a while will stay
right—where he is.
