THE WHY OF IT 



Noise Isn't Everything. The street band will attract 

 a crowd, but symphony concerts continue to be 

 well patronized. 



Noisy claims for recognition have no permanent effect 

 on bicycle buyers, as the evidence must be heard 

 before the money is paid. 



We claim nothing that the record will not substantiate. 



The Cleveland bicycle is to-day accepted as the world's 

 Standard for Excellence. 



Do You Ask Why? Then listen.— The Cleveland was 

 the first bicycle of standard type to be built and 

 marketed in America. That it has always been a 

 good bicycle is best shown by the growth of our 

 business. We to-day own and operate four fac- 

 tories making nothing but Cleveland bicycles, 

 with an output and acreage of floor space greater 

 than any other exclusive bicycle factory in the 

 world. 



The Cleveland is the only bicycle embodying such ex- 

 clusive features as Burwell Ball and Roller Bear- 

 ings. Burwell detachable tires and Cleveland 

 hardened block and pin chain. 



The Burwell Ball and Roller Bearing saves the rider; 

 it runs easier and is thoroughly dust proof Its life 

 is ten times greater than the best ordinary bearing 

 as has been shown by severest tests. The Burwell 

 detachable tire is easier to repair when punctured 

 (you can do it yourself), more resilient and depend- 

 able than any other. The Cleveland hardened 

 block and pin chain will stand more usage and sho,v 

 less wear than any other chain or combination of 

 gears on the market. When used with our gear 

 case it gives the maximum of safety and conveni- 

 ence with a minimum loss of power. 



The Cleveland has led the reformation in bicycle con- 

 struction. A few years ago we astonished the 

 world by producing a safe and durable mount at 

 40 lbs., when all others weighed 60 lbs. and over. 

 We are to-day manufacturing bicycles at 21 lbs., 

 weight for ladies and gentlemen — the lightest 

 bicycles made for road use. 



The Evidence summed up shows that ours is the only 

 bicycle on the '99 market embodying new and 

 valuable improvements. Cleveland bicycles are 

 handled by the best trade the world over. Prices 

 from $35.00 to $75.00. Send for catalog. No. 14.
