Examine Them. i *■— ’ f ■ •* ar / Descriptive Specifications. In presenting,our '95 model io the public, we wish to impress the fact that the Mystic is not oue of the many diamond frame bicycles with which the market is now flooded, and which can be bought at almost any price. On the contrary, the Mystic is one of the finest lined, most symmetrical and highly finished ma-chines at + he disposal of intending purchasers. THE FRAME, in general appearance, is very pleasing and perfectly constructed on the latest and approved models. LARGE TUBING, of light gauge, is used throughout, and every joint reinforced. EVERY PART is made of the finest steel. OUR MECHANICS are the best in the world. OUR MACHINERY is perfect, OUR STOCKHOLDERS ayg men of integrity. THE HEAD is inches in length, of large diareer, !?&ht and rigid. WHEEL ‘BASE, 44 inches. Depth of frame,Al3 inches pi mess otherwise ordered), which is the standard depih for the average raier. This brings the top tubes and rear fork tubes on a level and parallel with eacu other, which is a pattern of neat appearance. THE TUBING is of the very best cold diawn seamless steel' stock, produced from the finest quality Open Hearth Crucible Swedish ingot. ALL SOLID PARTS are of the Best quality steen accurately machined and fitted. 77/A’ BEARINGS -A\e the best procurable.

THE SPROCKETS ate of the highest grade Drop Forgings, accurately machine-milled to fit chain. Front sprocket is light, vet very strong and rigid. REAR SPROCKET is detachable. FINISH consists of three . <>ats of be-sl jei >dac-i « j name', baked on at a high temperature, all brush work (not dipped). Each coat, except last, is carefully rubbed down with felt and pumice stone, which imparts to me las’ coat that handsome iridescent finish so greatly admired. ALL BRIGHT PARTS are highly polish*:d ai d given a heavy copper-plate, then repolished and ni<-kle-pia>ed. This pt events rustings and gives an elegant “solid” finish. WOOD RIMS.

Our Improved Fork is a design of our own. and is light with great strength. This is considered so great an improvement that we give a special drawing showing its construction. CHAIN. This is the great improve nt-nt of 1*95. and we devote two pages to its description. Until you sec this chain you cannot a;.predate i’s merits. Our Improved Fork. THE CONSTRUCTION of our Fork is very light, yet exceptionally .strong and rigid, being built in such a manner as to distribute ail strain equally on the different parts. FORK SIDES are all reinforced. I he Morse Chain IS THE GREAT IMPROVEMENT OF 1895. THIS CONNECTION IS T) .1 C'LLLV WHY TI H PNE'JIITAIO TIRE IS TO THE WHEEL. Just slop and think: No Oiling, No Binding, No Stretching. No Friction, and of course much less power to propel. Actual tests of 1894 show that in running 2,000 and 3,000 miles these chains did stretch only one-twenlieth of an inch, and when put on factory machinery and run 5,000 miies the elongation was only one eighth of an inch. Do you think this is a pretty large story? Well, examine’ the cut and see how it works. It does not revolve around a pin. but works from the center and rocks in the pin, thus overcoming that great obstacle found in other chains. Use this chain once and you would not go back to the pin friction for half the cost of a wheel. You get a Mystic and you get this chain. Before you buy a wheel see the Morse Chain. » We do not say of this chain that it is just as gooi. but that it is better than any other chain made, and is worth #15.00 more to any wheel.
