Paddock, the enterprising bicycle man, Is entering upon the season of l'.HMl with au establishment, equipment and stock vastly improved mil enlarged over that of any pre vious year. His recent removal to the brick building, on Front street has givca, him a simcious room, with op portunities for enlargement of stock ind the installation of new machinery for his extensivo rejiair trado. The building is fitted with shelving with glass front which enables him to keep the smaller articles of trade lean and dust less aud 111 the most perfect condition till the time of their sale. Two handsomo show cases also, adorn the interior of the building. Mr. Paddock's trade Is by no means oullued to tho bicycle business, al though of course thut is the principal deiiartmcnt. He carries a lino of high grade cutlery, and his assort men t of IHTcket knives is one of the best and most complete in town. Ho carries a line of fishing tackle which is hard to surpass anywhere. This, is one of his specialties aud the fisherman, though never so particular, can find satisfaction here. Ho has a line of watches, modest as to price, but guaranteed time keepers. Ills talking machines are among tho very highest of productions iu that line, giving clear, musical tones and distinct enunciation, very unlike tho splutter ing phonographs of the old order. All the leading tnakes of bicycles will be carried, and will be sold ou the installment plan or at a discount for cash. The privileges of selection are large and a prosjicctive purchaser will be suited to Ins satisfaction ill quality, price or make of wheel. One of the innovations iu the shop this year is a reveling rack for bicycles, economizing space. This rack will hold Hi wheels ill the same spacu for merly tilled by Seven. His lino of sundries is largo and complete and he sells them for cash' al the same figures that they can be purchased iu Chicago. In this line particularly, he keeps strictly up to dare and h lsrall the innovations of the present year. He has several new con nivances for repair of punctures which aru a great advance iu ingenu ity and convenience over anything ever oltered before. The repair department has an ex tensive equipment of machinery and loots, wilh all facilities for turning out a large amount of first class work, and the heavier machinery of this de partment itn ois rated by water lKiwcr. I here aru two lathes, one oiiorntcd by loot Kiwcr Tor light work anil the oilier, used for the heavier work, is run by water iwer.
