AN OLD-ESTABLISHED FIRM

In 185)3 there were very few bicycles in Timaru, a few solid tyre safi-ties, a few old time "high machines." In 1894 tiie first bicycle shop was established in Timani, then trading as Gibson, Wood and Co., later as C. W. Wood and Co., and since 1903 as Scotts Cycle Depot. The. business lias continued under the present management since 1894, and now starts on another year. It is gratifying to learn that tho majority of cyclists who first commenced dealing as far back as 1894, nro still steady and regular customers. In one case one gentleman had had as many as fifteen cycles, in- another family ten have been purchased; all from tho same business. Scott's have the finest assortment of cycles, accessories, and repair materials in South Canterbury, you have merely to go and have a look round to bo convinced. If you want value- for money, just go and compare their cycles with any others before you decide. One striking feature at Scott's that all their secondhand cycles aro thoroughly overhauled and repaired before heing offered for sale, and further, you can exchange a second-hand cycle for another good sound solid second-hand machine, with pump and clips, bag and spanners, oil can, etc.. all given in with reasonable terms. Finally you can depend on a pood deal and bargain at the pioneer shop... .i
