OESGRIPTIOM ! Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside 

 with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures 

 without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating 

 that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more tlian 

 an ordinarv tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially 

 prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt 

 or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which' prevents all air from being 

 squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these 

 tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider 

 of only $4.>'0 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approvaL 

 You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. 



We will allow a cash discount of 5 percent (thereby making the price $14.55 per pair) if you send 

 FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel 

 plated brass hand pump and two Sampson metal puncture closers on full paid orders (these metal 

 puncture closers to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gashes). Tires to be returned 

 at Ot'R expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. 



We are perfectly reliable'and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster, 

 Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of 

 these tires, vou will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, la'st longer and look 

 fiuer than anv tire you have ever used or seen at any price. We know that you will be so well pleased 

 that when you want a bicycle you will give us your order. We want you to send us a small trial 

 order at once, hence this remarkable tire offer.

^STRAWBERRY^ 

 LANDS 



The most profitable locations for raising 

 strawberries are in the South, where the 

 climate and soils produce large crops and 

 where the berry ripens early, so that it goes 

 to the markets of the country at the time 

 when the highest prices are obtained. The 

 various sections along the 



SOUTHERN RAILWAY and 

 MOBILE & OHIO RAILROAD 



Are especially suited for profitable berry 

 culture and fruit orchards and gardens. 

 Lands may be obtained at extremely low
