sprocket is worth $25 to any wheel, and yet we charge nothing extra for this construction. Our largo sprocket is changeable, and our handle bars can be adjusted to suit the rider. Our whhel weighs exactly twentyfour poufidst but we challenge any twenty-pound wheel to run easier. The reason why we make the wheel twentyrfour pounds is, we know it will stand any country road. The Mystic costs to build 30 per cent more than job wheels. We can not compete,in price with any wheel not made with the same care and accuracy. Do not buy a low grade wheel, as it will be a poor investment. Before you buy see a Mystic, and thoroughly examine its parts and general construction. We court inspection. We take no back seat to any wheel made.
