BARGAINS IN BICYCLES. 



GENTS' WHEEI.. 



We recently sold to a large bicycle factory 

 in Akron, Ohio, a carload of crates for ship- 

 ping their wheels in, and we have taken some 

 wheels in part payment at their lowest job- 

 bing prices. In order to turn these wheels 

 into money quickly we propose offering them 

 to our readers at very nearly cost, or one-third 

 oflf regular selling prices. We have the wheels 

 in stock, and have tested and examined them 

 carefully, and can recommend them as good 

 medium-grade wheels that will give good ser- 

 vice. We went through the factory and saw how 

 they were made and they are well made — no 

 shoddy work about them in any particular. 

 They are jjuaranteed by the manufaciurers for 

 one year from date of sale. 



tADIES' WHEEIv. 



We can furnish either gents' or ladies' pat- 

 tern. Catalog giving full particulars and spec- 

 ifications will be mailed on application. The 

 price of models 30 and 31 will be !j!20.00, and 

 we will take pay in beeswax or honey, or give 

 5 per cent discount for cash with order. If 

 you have honey to exchange, send a sample if 

 it is extracted, and tell how it is put up. If 

 comb, give description and say how packed. 



It would take about 200 pounds comb honey 

 or 300 of extracted of fair average grade to pay 

 for a wheel. Don't ship any honey until you 

 first advise us. If interested let us hear from 

 you proiTiptly, for we do not expect to have 

 these wheels long. They are more than one- 

 third gone already right here at home.
