AFTER 4b YEARS' USE. Me. W. L. Luxford, or Palmerston North, writes :— " 10th December, 1897.— The Manager Star Cycle Co., Wellington.— Sir— l am returning to you an old friend in the shape of one of your '92 machines, and want you to send me another of this year's make, allowing me what yon consider fair value for the old one. I think it only just that I should say that I do not believe that any other make of machine would have stood the knocking about that I have given the machine referred to. I have ridden it constantly for 4$- years, summer and winter, good roads and bad roads, principally between here and Dannevirko, but also in every part of the North Island— through rivers with the water over the handle-bar, through mud and over boulders on unformed roads — and never once has it ever broken down. You will find all the parts, bearings, rims, frame, chain, &c., the samo as turned out of your works five years ago. At a very low estimate, I have ridden 10 miles a day, and this for 4<i years totals over 13,000 miles ; and after such a trial you may rely on nay advising any of my friends to buy a Star. I would not part with the machine now were it not for the improvements that have been made the last year or two." Call and inspect the new Stars. Best value. Good guarantee.
