THIS Company lir.s teen formed for the purpose of acquiring 'he sole patent limits for New Zealand of the "Collier Two-siiceil Hear'' for Oycles, and to import or mauuiaclure Cycles titled with the gear, It is generally admitted liy riders ot the ordinary machine tlmt its greatest defect, as a means of locomotion, is the difficulty of mounting hills and riding against the wind, or on bad roads. This is caused by the single gearing, The object of a two speed gear is to lessen the amount oi labour necessary to propel the cycle up hills and against head winds, or on bad roads, and at the same time to allow a higher speed than usual to Ijo attained on level roads. Hilt-climbing robs cycling of much of its pleasure, and it is to remove this barrier thttt the " Collier TwoSpeed Gear" has been designed. It is simple in construction, stni.iK, anil is built ;as [Mi t f the machine. ;n n-i-, slltliat is iitc'/i'saiyis tonike a knob, lilted at the top of the cycling frame, aid the gearing is changed while riding at any speed. Thus, if a lull is to be climbed, the knob is lowt-reii, and immediately the machine bccomns much easier to propel. On reacli- ! tng the summit, by raising the knob the higher gear comes into play, and increased speed is obtained. The hard work hilhcrlo necessary to propel a high-geared machine ou give and take roads has debarred many people from indulging in the pleasure of cycling, and it is conlidenilyaiiticipated that the "Two->pecii (icurwill add greaty to the popularity ot the snort. The" Collier Two-speed Clear" is absolutely new as a simple mechanical motion, and in this lies one great security to investors. H has been put to every practical test, and the holiest testimonials have been received from (lie leading English tv..d Colonial liders and engineers. Orders for the " Collier Two-Speed" have already bsea received from the leading cyclc-makors in Christchurch, Auckland, Duncdin, Napier, Ac., and it has created the gicattsl interest amongst cyclists throughout t.m Colo..). Tiir. inuneiise strides j cycling is mating throughout the world, not only ,Vi a sport, hit us a u,e,.ns uf locomotion in the business affairs of life, must be apparent to every observer. In New Zealoud it ut in its infancy, and the favourable climate (making it practical to cycle almost ilie whole year round) points to its being | much more univers illy used than in less ■ favoured countries. It is estimated by experts that there were 2500 bicycles sold last year in New Zealand, | and ill a very few years it would not bo suri prising to see these figures raised to 50(10. ; Considering the immense advantages of the i "CollierTwo-Speed Gear" over the single 1 speed cycle, it is cileulaUd that at least | COD machines would be sold the first full season, and it is confidently expected that I two-thirds of the cycles purchased throughout the Colony, will fce fitted with this tear. A lirst-elass cycle, Sited with the Collier Two-Spetd Cear, sells for if! 10s, anil ttiis at a uet profit of n Ss per cycle, provides for a dividend of 25 per cent., and leaves a surplus of .t'Boo. This estimate docs not include any profit by way of interest on deferred payment business, or for sales of the gear to other makers, which, in itself, should represent a substantial prolit, and the Directors have every icasoti to believe that this estimate will ho considerably exceeded. They see in this simple invention as great a revolution in cycling, as was caused by the advent of the now univertaily adopted Pneumatic Tyre, the company owning which paid, in ITO, a dividend of 200 per cent., anil placed £IOO,OOO to the reserve fund. It is intended to establish the head office of the Company in Wellington, as being the most central pcint to work the Colony from. No delay will take placo in tlio Company doing business, as the gears are being made in large quantities in Maud. The ' Collier Two-Speed Gear" Company, Manchester, are prepared to supply them immediately. The purchase price fixed by the Vendor is £550 cash, £SOO in I'2 months, 1000 fully paid-up shares, and a royalty of 10s per gear; hut tlie vendor is willing to forego receipt of any royalty on the first 1100 gears. The Vendor has made provision for tlio payment oi all espouses of forming and lloating the Company up to the first allotment ol shares. Where no allotment is made tlio application money will bo returned in full, and where the number of shares allotted is less than tlio number applied for, the surplus will bo appropriated on account of the allotment money. Any excess will be returned to the applicants. Applications for share* will lie received by Mil, D. S.
