KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



I could not do without Gleamn(js, for I have 

 received $r).()i) worili of money from it besides the 

 good reading in the Home talks. 



Deshler, Ohio, Nov. 18. Thomas Obeklitner. 



our bushel boxes. 



I am glad to say that those "shooks" were as good 

 as they could be— not a poor stick in the lot. I hated 

 to order, for fear of getting a lot of stuff not worth 

 making up, and it gives me pleasure to compliment 

 you— or, rather, give you your d&e— un.solicited. 



Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 11. C. E. Rum.sey 



A KIND WORD FOR THE AVHEEL. 



I have read with much interest your article on 

 the wheel, and can indorse all j'ou say about it. I 

 have used the bicycle for six years and now have 

 my third wheel, lo keep up with the improvements. 

 My two boys have wheels also, and the way we 

 economize time, while taking comfort, health, and 

 jileasure, is something remarkable. I .suppose the 

 improvements will be still surprising for the next 

 six years, and we must and will have better roads 

 by the advent of tlie bicycle. W. O. Sweet.
