A REMARKABLE SALE.

For some weeks past Mark Higgins, the Cycle Man, has been running a bicycle sale, but the climax was reached on Monday last, when he disposed of the whole of his bicycle business in one lot to Messrs J. C. and G. W. Brehaut, who will continue the sale and carry on the business on the progressive lines followed by Mr Higgins. Messrs Brehaut Bros, are not strangers to the Timaru public. They were born and bred here, and served their time as cycle mechanics with local firms—in fact they were both employed in the early "days of their present shop, and therefore had a good grounding in mechanical work when Cyclos were built from start to finish on the premises. It is safe to say that there is nothing about bicycles that they are not conversant with, while their skill as general mechanics is well known, and there is hardly any kind of mechanism that could " get them down." As salesmen they have both had several years' experience—Mr J. C. (Charlie) with Mark Higgins, and Mr G. W. (George) with Scott's. Messrs Brehaut Bros, are fortunate in their present deal —the site is an ideal one, central and commodious, the stock is very large and of high grade, while the staff is noted for the promptitude and excellence of their work. Messrs Brehaut Bros, intend to keep the business up tothe high standard attained by Mr Higgins, and we wish them every measure of success. We learn that Mr Higgins will make the old place his headauarters for some months, so his many friends will still know where to find the Cycle Man. ...
