MR CG. EF. LUCE,

Grand Rapids, Mich. 
Dear Friend Luce :— 
What do you think of this? He has been riding a 
Chainless, same gear, but it ran like a truck, 
so he asked me if I would loan him my ‘CLIPPER 
CHAINLESS,’ as he thought it was the finest running 
machine he had ever been on. I thought the matter over 
and loaned him same, with the result as you can See. 
Everybody in New York among riders is talking about it; 
that he could NOT do it before on a——_-—_—., but did 
it on a Clipper Chainless—pretty good work. 
Yours truly, 
(Signed) M. SIEGEL.’’

The above letter referred to Mr. Mock’s record ride in 
the recent 200 mile New York Road Race, in which 16r 
riders started and but four finished. Mr. Mock rode the 
200 miles in 13 hours 11 minutes flat. His nearest com= 
petitor was Gus Egloff of the Century Wheelmen, who 
was defeated in the final spurt, Mr. Mock has clearly 
demonstrated the fact that he CAN ride in record time on a 
Clipper Bevel Gear. He has also convinced himself that 
he can finish with a spurt. Some say you can’t spurt 
with a Chainless. That’s not true; there’s nothing in the 
gears to prevent spurting ALL the time if you ‘‘ have it 
up your sleeve.”
