The conditionsr%^»fcg^4H under which 
our wheels 
structed are 
singularly 
jy favorable. Made by 
a great company with 
unlimited resources, 
whose plant is unsurpassed and hardly 
equalled in the world. 
Columbia Bicycles 
are the splendid result of the best efforts 
of enterprising and scientific men of 
notable inventive powers, coupled with 
the discernment to seize and appropriate 
anything good that is presented from 
outside sources, and having the judgment 
that only results from long years of ex¬ 
perience. With such advantages, pos¬ 
sessed by no other establishment, it is 
not surprising that these peerless wheels 
are the standard of bicycle construction.
