WHY SHOULD I BUY a Bevel Gear Chainless Bicycle when a chain wheel costs less ? 1. Because under ordinary conditions the* bevel gears run easier Ilian the chain. This is for the reason that the bevel gears are always free from grit, mud, and dust, and are always perfectly lubricated. 2. Because, owing to the peculiar strength and rigidity of the chainless bicycle, the bevel gearing never cramps or twists under any strain that is put upon it. This accounts for the supremacy of the Chainless In hill climbing. 3. Because, owing to the absence of the side puli of the chain, the frame never gets out of line unless as the result of a serious accident. In this latter case the bevel gears are quite as likely to emerge in a useful condition as the chain and sprockets. It is usually the rider of the chainless who goes un fust after a road race smash up. 4. Because the chainless calls for less attention than the chain wheel. To clean the chainless is a very easy task, which is desirable for preserving its appearance. Neglect does not Impair the running qualities of the gearing. 5. Because the bevel gear construction is peculiarly simple, direct, and effective, calling for relatively few separate parts. This ensures freedom from breakage and from annoying accidents. 6. Because the bevel gear « halnless is by far the handsomest wheel on the market. PRICE, £25. With Westwood Steel Rims and Duulop Tyres, •THE.. YEREXe JONES CO. VICTORIA STREET, -W'KiiL.msrGTOisr.
