People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 August 1895 — THE MYSTIC WHEEL. [ARTICLE]

THE MYSTIC WHEEL.

What Some of the ('yeliata Say Reyarding Itx Merita. The Mystic bicycle is manufactured by a company composed of responsible citizens of Mukwanago. Wis., the president being A. H. Craig, a brother of the editor of the Pilot. They determined when starting the manufactory to build the best wheel that could be made. They had the proven model of a superior design, and it only required the best workmanship to turn out a better wheel then other high-class manufacturers were doing. This they have done, and it is not claiming too much to say that it is superior to any SIOO wheel on the market. The guarantee of the manufacturer is broad, and every wheel sold by the Pilot has the additional guarantee of the publisher.

The Mystic can be seen at the Pilot office. The price is 185, but can be had through especial arrangement for $65 and expressage (about 75c.) Note what these letters say: Chicago, May 7, 1895.—The wheel you sent me gives entire satisfaction. Please ship one for my brother as soon as possible. G. S. Norton, 811-813 Masonic Temple. Note—Mr. Norton visited the factory in March and was so much interested in how the Mystics are manufactured that he decided then that the next wheel he rode should be a Mystic. As he is a wheelman of eight years’ experience the above testimonial is indeed a high compliment. Waukesha, Wis., May 10, 1895. —The Mystic wheel I got of you for my daughter gives splendid satisfaction. It fills the bill in every particular. Respectfully yours, A. J. Frame,

President Wakesha Nat. Bank. Caldwell, Wis.. June 8, 1895. We. the undersigned wheelmen of Caldwell. Racine county,Wis., do hereby testify that we hate owned and ridden many different kinds of wheels, but none have given such satisfaction as the Mystic. It is the freest in action, easiest to manage and smoothest running wheel of any we ever tried. We can make better time and climb harder hills than weever did before. In fact, it is all its makers claim for it. We have visited the factory, examined every part in the rough and also when finished, and find machinery, workmen and material are worthy inspection and prove by their work that they make one of the finest wheels on the market. R. Clark, W. J. Clark. C. F. Bettcke, Horace Clark. Alamosa. Colo., May 27. 1895. The Mystic has had the heaviest competition possible, but more than holds its own. I took your wheel without any experience whatever.and immediately found myself confronted with experienced experts of the Columbia, Waverly. Sterns, Syracuse, Spaulding. Soudan and several other makes, but I won more credit marks than all of them. Please 'ship immediately the order I gave you for Durango and Pagosa Springs. Next year we will sweep the country. £ S. Craig, M. D.

Troj’ Center, Wis., May 27, 1595. —Since riding the Mystic wheel I have been asked many times how I liked it and how it compared with other wheels. To all such inquiries I have but one answer to make: It gives perfect satisfaction. It has many points of excellence over the general make of wheels and is the easiest running wheel I ever rode. It is very sensitive in the head, which is an advantage not to be lost sight of. The workmanship is first-class in every respect and the style and finish as near perfect as possible. I have seen none that I tnpught its equal. The chain is a ’point that beats them all, and I consider it worth $5 more at least than any othei I ever saw. Taking all in consideration I consider the Mystic the best high grade wheel on the market this season. W. S. Bunker. Havelock, lowa, May 21, 1895. —I have just arrived home from Minneapolis, having made the trip up and back on my Mystic (550 miles) without a break or mishap and without paying out one cent for repairs, and I went through mud, over hubs and rocks which would certainly have smashed anything but a strong wheel, yet my machine is as good this minute as she was when it came out of your factory. H. W. Ackley. Newburg, Wis., May 16, 1895. —The Mystic arrived allo. k.; took it last night. Had to ride

home eight miles and I never had such a snap and pleasant ride before because it runs so easily 7 that the rider doesn’t know Whether he is working with his feet or not. I have seen and ridden many different wheels, but none that I have ever seen can compete with the Mystie in any respect. Bicyclists who have never ridden a Mystic do not know 7 what a good wheel is—but there is no use trying to praise it, because it praises itself more than human being can praise it. Jas. B. Molling. Rensselaer. Ind., July 6, 1895. —I desire to express my great pleasure in the ownership of a Mystic wheel. It has proven all that was hoped for, and I prefer it to any wheel that I have seen. Miss Eva Washburn. Rensselaer, Ind., July 6, 1895. —I take pleasure in saying that, the Mystic is the easiest running and most perfectly balanced wheel that I ever rode. Have just returned from a ten-day trip without the slightest accident or expense for repairs. It certainly has no peer as a highclass bicycle.
