THE MYSTIC WHEEL.

U lint Sonif of tin• i artists Vi}/ Rr-l/in-itina Its >1 frits The Mystic bicycle is manufactured by a company composed of responsible citizens of Mukwanago. Wis.. the president j being A. H. Craig, a brother of I tiie editor of the Pilot. They j determined when starting the j manufactory. to build the best j wheel that could he made. They I had the proven model of a su- | perior design, and it only rejquired the best workmanship to j turn out a better wheel than other high-class manufacturers j were doing.

This they have done, and it is not claiming too much to say that it is superior to any #IOO wheel on the market. The guarantee of the manufacturer is broad, and every wheel sold by the Pilot has the additional guaranteebf the publisher. The Mystic can be seen at the Pilot office. The price is SBS, i but can be had through especial | arrangement for #65 and ex- | [message (about 75c.) Note what these letters say: Chicago. May 7. 1805.—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 have 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 we ever 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. S. Craig, M. D. Troy Center, Wis., May 27, 1895.—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 tnought its equal. The chain is a point that beats them all, and I consider it w’orth $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 j rocks which would certainly ; have smashed anything but a strong wheel, yet my machine is las good this minute as she was j when it came out of your facj tory. H. W. Ackley. Newburg, Wis.. May 16, 1895. 'Phe Mystic arrived all o. 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 t hat the rider doesn’t know whether he is working with his feet or not. I have seen and ridden many different wheels, but nbue that 1 have ever seen can compete with the Mystie in any respect. Bicyclists who have never ridden a Mystic do not know 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 .Jan. B. Mulling. Rensselaer. Ind., July 6, 1895. —I desire to express my great pleasure in the ownership of a Mystic wheel. li 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. 1 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.
