Straight Dealing 



i

is better than crooked 



dealing. Straight 



rear forks are better 



■ than crooked ones. 



The latter cannot be properly reinforced with light, strong blades of 



steel; the former can. No crooked or bent tube is as strong as a 



straight one of same size and gauge. Rear forks are bent in order 



to give sprocket clearance and narrow the tread, which necessitates 



the extension of crank brackets, thus extending the wheel base, and 



consequently requiring stronger frames with better reinforcements. 



Some frames or forks are not reinforced, which 



accounts for so many breaking. There is a way to get 



narrow tread, straight rear forks properly reinforced, 



giving plenty of clearance for big sprockets without 



extending wheel base to an extreme length. The 



Clipper people invented it, and Clipper Special has 



got it ; but its expensive construction prevents 



selling at the popular Clipper prices. If you wish 



to indulge in the narrow tread fad, and at the 



same time get strong frames, ride a Clipper 



Special.
