Value of a Bicycle Guarantee.
Nearly all bicyte are guaranteed by the
manufacturer, but the value of the guaran
tee to the rider depend entirely' upon the
facility with which th manufacturer can
be reached. If you buy direct, the express
charges both way on defective parts will
usually equal the value of the part, and the
express chargea must always be paid by
the rider, to say nothing of the loss of two
weeks riding, perhaps in the btsl part of
the season. Generally, In such rases, the
rider would much prefer to buy and pay
for the part at borne, notwithstanding the
guarantee, but if it I an "outside" wheel
he can't get the part except from the manu
facturer
But on a wheel purchased at borne the
value of the guarantee depends on the lib
erality ot the agent who, if a successful one,
is abl t obtain for the rider all reasonah's
concession from tbe manufacturer. The
defective part is replaced at once without
charge and without delay.
Accideul happen to all wheel. How
comforting to know that the local agent Is
able to furnish repairs. With inexperienced
riders many annoying little trouble occur
with wheel. The skillful band of the ex
perienced local agent will set things right
at no expense.
Again a well known wheel, represented
by a local agent, will bring double the price
If you wish to sell It. Nobody wants tbe
unknown, foreign wheel at any price wben
It begins to degenerate with use and age
and repairs cannot be obtained at home
mobal:
Buy your bicycle at home. And buy a
Crescent bicycle if you can, for Crescent
riders are well looked after and generously
treated. Ask them.
Electric Killers.
Electric Bitter is a medicine suited
(or any Reason, but perhaps more gener
ally neeued, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicino has often ayerted long and per
haps fatal bilious fevers. So medicine
will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti
pation and Dizziness yie'd to Electric
Bitters. 60c and $1.00 per bottle at
