WE COLLIER TWO-SPEED CYCLE CO. LTD.

In another column we publish the prospectus of the above Company, a limited number of shares in which are being offered in this district, through Mr 1), S. I'apworth, who has been appointed broker. The two-speed gear, the patent rights of which the Company will secure, is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity and simplicity, and severe practical tests in England and Now Zealand have proveditto be invaluable toroadsters. Numerous attempts have been made to overcome the defects of the singlo gear, and during the past ten years, over two hundred patents have been taken out, but all appear to have failed to be of any practical value. Most cycle makers supply an extra chain wheel to alter the gear, but to effect an alteration, it takes two or tliveo lioni's, but with the Collier two-speed gear tlio change can be made instantly and without, dismounting.

The shares in the Com puny are being largely taken up by the shrewd and sensible people of Wellington, wliilo the names of the Provisional Directors are a guarantee of the lomi fidcuoltheconcern. Thetestiinonials received from those who have given the gearing a tost, avo most convincing, and there is every reason to believe that the Collier two-speed gear will enjoy as great a monopoly ns the Dunlop Tyre. Copious and detailed information is supplied in the prospectuses, ami those who seek a sound investment will do well lo subsciibe for sliarei in this new venture. Prospectuses may he obtained from 11 r Papworth,
