And we don’t use any ” 8.5. A.” parts cither. Nor any of “ England’s best patents ” either. No thanks, wo have something better. We don’t want any Brooke’s saddles, nor Kendall’s spokes, nor Dunlop tiros nor Westwood rims. WO know that very few if any firms b’Avo the courage of their convictions, and dare to be independent in this master, for they are all more or less under the gigantio monopolies that control 41 England’s best patents.” Our Victor bicycles are built by the “ Overman Wheel C 0.,” who enjoy a reputation as good afid as extensive as any machine that Cotnbs from England, They make the Whole wheel too. When wo ciVo a guarantee it covers the whole machine, and every part and part of every part. See? We have p&tqi\ts on the s Victor that tdako tli'bs'o bli others appear s insignificant. Tlielß is not an English bicycle oil this market to compare, with the Victor, and every engineer and scientific man who has examined it knows solid fact. We claim the Victor to fee cuperior to any English machine In the following particulars i —lt has bettor hubs (made from crucible steel drop forgings), it has better spokes (being straightv-all English are bent), better cranks and crank hanger (acknowledged by everybody), bettor tiros (Viator tires are famous), better rims tfiietal rim* are out of date)', simplest adjustment (no screws or nuts), best crown (crucible steel drop forging), best bearings (all dust proof, with ball races detachable, all cones and balls hardened in oil—all through—and not case hardened).

Victor is—Ist, the strongest { 2nd, the easiest panning; 3rd. the most-up-to-date bicycle iijl. and wo will pay .£IOO to anyone who can prove the abdV‘6 is. not true. We guarantee the Victor for 15 years. The Terex and Jones Company, Wellington, Christchurch and Wanganui.
