G3WHKAI. HV 3IKSSS A REVOLUTION IN BIKSS. IT is not too much to say that the adroit of the “ Columbia ” caused a revolution In the bicycle trade. Its unique features are not approached in any other opposition wheel. .What other bicycle can show such an array of “features”—divided crank shaft, nickel steel tubing, chain, adjustable handle bars, laminated wood rims, &c., &c. ? And our Cash Price is only £27, You can buy no other high-grade machine for the money. ' Ask our riders how they like them. You will want a mount for the Christmas season. Como up to our Show Booms before making yoor.selection. If anytliing were needed to complete the “ revolution” it is our introduction of the Hartford Bicycle, at xlB cash. This is a perfect crusher to the rest ef the trade. One gentleman, of high standing among Welliugbusiness men, says:—“l think it only fair to tell you that after giving the Hartfo ad a trial lam delighted with it. It will create a sensation here. Vou should ask more money for it,” Well, we think we should, too, but the fact is we did not know it was so good a machine when we fixed the price. Upon opening them up, we were surprised at their quality. Lota of people have said the same as the gentleman quoted above, and more than one dealer has urged us to raise the price, fearing a drop in prices. It is as good a bicycle as any sold hero for £2S or £25, It is ** as good as a Columbia,” bat it is the wheel with which all others must be Compared with this one exception. “ ’Nuf said.” We have raised the standard of quality, reduced the price, and made things “ hum ” in the bicycle business generally. We don’t wish to skite,” but state what is a fact when we say that wo have landed, or have to land, during this month more machines than any other firm in New Zealand. Keep your eye on this space ; some astonishing announcements are to follow. It’s a “He volution in Bikes ” right enough. THE YEREX AND JONES COMPANY, NATIONAL MUTUAL BUILDINGS, Customhouse quat. 2C

BAMBOO BICYCLES. WE have just opened up a shipment of the above, which are entirely new to the Cyclists of Wellington. A somewhat popular fallacy exists that “ Baujboo,” as a primary factor in the construction of machines requiring at times extreme strain, is.an innovation hardly equal to the teat. There is no occasion to theorise on the question, as scientific tests have indubitably demonstrated the, fact that Bamboo, weight for weight, is many times stronger than steel. In the East it is use 1 for bridges, scaffolding poles, pillars for roofs of houses, masts for ship?, and for similar purposes whore strength and reliability are absolutely essential. These Cycles are not built entirely of Bamboo, but a combination of Bamboo, Steel and Aluminium, the resultant machine being, for strength; lightness and life, far superior to the best machines of the most celebrated makers, English or American. The shipment we have just landed comprises Roadsters, Road • Racers and Ladies* Cycles ; they are thoroughly up-to-date, and are strictly Moderate in Price. We Invite Inspection, CAMERON & CHRISTIE, Lambton quay. V9l THE PROOF THAT THE WARWICK CYCLE IS THE MOST tTP.TO-DATE MACHINE IN THE WORLD Is supplied by the fact that there is not a single machine that is considered up-to-date that has not copied Warwick improvements. THE Warwick crank fastenings have been demonstrated over and over again to bo the strongest in use, and many seasons’ experience place its claims on a basis of absolute security. Warwick dnsfcproof bearings have proved to be the finest in the world; tho pedals aro tho simplest and , strongest ever made; the adjustable handlebar, is perfect; the height can be altered with the finger and thnmb as yon lido along. W A B WICKS are the big best-grade, highestpriced machine made in America, but tho expert who takes one down finds his money’s worth in the splendid workmanship and attention to detail excelled in no other machine. It is so designed that the novice who pulls his machine in pieces will put it together right—ho can’t help it. Tho WARWICK is the most popular machine. At the greatest Contest ever held (nob a side show) in America, the WARWICK headed the poll by nearly 200,000 votes over its nearest competitor. • THE HYGIENIC CUSHION FRAME, As applied to WARWICKS, is the greatest luxury ever added to a cycle. Como and try it. You just sail along; no jar or jolt. DUPLICATE PARTS. Don’t buy a machine if you can’t get these. You may meet with an accident, and getting special parts made means delay and is very expensive, I stock all parts of the WARWICK. Ir You Want the Best Monet Can But, BUY A WARWICK. F.
