Don’t ! Don’t what 1 Don’t go to a bona- i fide Cycle Agent, if you wish to purchase a machine; they know nothing whatever about them. There are plenty of other places you cau get them, Grocers, Fishmongers, Hatters, Fruiterers and others, every one of them keeps a different make and each oue the Best the world can produce although they have never been heard of before. You can rely on them being fitted up properly, a nub or bolt loose here or there does not mutter ; you can easily adjust it yourself, and if you break a limb, through the machine collapsing, the hospitals are free to all. Every time you want your cycle repairsd, any of the above Experts can do it much better than a man who has served his time at the trade. Be sure and get some new make of tyre, they are all better than any of the old standard makes ; you can take the Agent’s word for that; and, above all, don’t trouble about a guarantee, as the machines are so good you will not need it. If none of the above Agents have Cycles to suit you, try Godward and McKenzie, Cycle Manu facturers and Importers, who only keep Humbfrs; and who are too busy at present tp depart from their own teade.
