MORE TRUTH. THAN POETRY!

The “Orient ” and “Saracen ” I
Are THE wheels of to-day.

At Saunders,’ No. 12 North Main
Is where they hold full sway.

He carries every part in stock
And treats you all alike,

No trouble if of him you buy
Your Ninety-Seven Bike.

At coasting or at racing
They’ve always stood the peer,

The reason is, they’re fitted with
The famous “Pitch line gear.”

The crack-a-jacks all ride them,
You know the reason why,

They’re just the class of riders
Who know what wheel to buy.

Prize winners are these wheels:
And ahead they’ll always be,

. Just watch them in the races,

And for yourself you’ll see.

And when the victory’s over,
When time prize has been won,

They’ll quietly speak for themselves
And simply say, well done.

Yours Until Death, -
