NOTICES. WE do not deny that we arc young, to the business, that we are only getting experience, and that wo are merely novice#. in the bicycle line, but we are marching on for all that. The fact is our success has far exceeded our wildest anticipation. As soon as the Columbia began to bo known orders commenced coming in from near and far. We have never been able to supply that demand. Whenever a shipment has arrived we have hod the greatest difficulty in apportion--1 ingjtho machines, so as to get half our clients to wait the next shipment. The last 'Frisco steamer brought us 130 machines; the Alameda will bring us 118, the ) Pakeba has 78, the Euapehu 8, and the lonic 3d. We are landing altogether fully 400 machines inside of four weeks. Wo do not claim to bo the largest dealers in New Zealand :wo only aim to do a fair share. Wo have a magnificent stock of sundries on hand, and a great quantity more to arrive soon. We think we can claim to have the most varied and valuable assortment of sundries of any firm in the Colony. Wo are very sorry wo will bo unable to supply any Columbia bicycles.. before the arrival of the Pakeha, due about January stb. We will then have plenty of all stylos Columbia' and Hartford machines. Our stock at present is confined to Victors and Victorias. Victoria (lady's) is a poem in steel. Wo do not know ef any machine now being offered in this market, excepting Columbias, the equal or superior ot the Victoria. The Overman Wheel Company, manufacturers of the Victor bicycles, wore the pioneers of the manufacture of the safety iff America. No company in America, except the Pope Company, have either the experience or the reputation of the Overman Wheel Company. * The Victor is not a mongrel—it is a thoroughbred. It is the product of one factory. Every part, and part of every part, is thoroughly guaranteed by us. When you ride a Victor you can got there and back. Wo are in our now promises, but not quite tidy, yet will bo glad to see you and to talk business with you.

THE YERBX AND JONES COMPANY, 49, WILLIS STREET, Wellington. 256 THE PROOF THAT THE WARWICK CYCLE IS THE MOST UP-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 boon 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 dustproof bearings have proved to bo the finest in the world; the pedals are. the simplest and strongest ever made; the adjustable handlebar is perfect; the height can bo altered with the finger and thumb as you lido along. WARW[XCKS arc the highest-grade, highestpriced machine made in America, but the 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—he can’t help it, Tho WARWICK is the most popular machine. At tho greatest Contest ever held (not a side show) in America, the WARWICK headed tho 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 bay a nuchino if you can’t these. You may moot with an accident, and getting special parts made means delay and is very expensive.
