Quality. 
The raw material used in the con¬ 
struction of the 1894 Columbia bicy 
cles is carefully analyzed by 
an expert metallur- 
A gist in our employ, 
ff thus only a uni- 
If form grade of the 
9^ toughest and strongest 
metal is accepted. A Columbia bicycle 
as built to-day will wear longer and 
do better service than the traditional 
“ one-boss shay.”
