THIS Company has been formed for the purpose ol acquiring the sole patent rights lor New Zealand of the "Collier Two-speed Gear" lor Cycles, and to import or manufacture Cycles lilted with the gear, It is generally admitted by riders of tho ordinary machine that its greatest detect, 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 gcai'ii;g. The olqcct of a two speed gear is to lessen the amonnt of 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 be attained ou level roads. Hill-climbing robs cycling of much of its pleasure, and it is to remove this barrier thai the" Collier TwoSpeed Gear" has been designed. It ia simple in construction, strong, and is built as part of the machine, In use, all that is necessary is to raise a knob, fitted at the top of the cycling frame, aed the gearing is changed while riding at any speed. Thus, if a hill is to be climbed, the knob is lowered, and immediately the machine becomes much easier to propel. On reach--IU|J the summit, by raising the knob the higher gear comes into play, and increased speed is obtaiued. The hard work hitherto necessary to propel a high-geared machine on give and lake roads has debarred many people from indulging in the pleasure of cycling, and it is confidently anticipated that the "Two-!- peed Gear" will add greatly to the popularity of the sport, The" Collier Two-Speed Gear" is absolutely new as a simple mechanical motion, and in this lies one great security to investors. It has been put to every practical test, and the highest testimonials have been received from the leading English and Colonial riders and engineers. Orders for tho "Collier Two-Speed" liavo already been received from the leading cycle-makers in Chrislchurch, Auckland, Duncdiu, Napier, te, and it has created tho greatest interest amongst cyclists throughout the Colouy. Tho immense strides cycling is making throughout the world, not only as a sport, but ns a means of locomotion in the busiuess affair* of life, must be apparent to every observer. In New Zealand it it in its infancy, and the favourable climate (making it practical to cycle almost 1 the whole year round) points to its being much more, universally used than iu less favoured countries, It is estimated by experts that thoro wore 2500 bicycles sold last year in New Zealand, and in a very few years it would not be surprising to see these figures raised to 5000. Considering the immense advantages of the "Collier Two-Speed Gear" over the single speed'cycle, it is calculated that at least GOO machines would be sold tho first lull season, nod it is confidently expected that two-thirds of the cycles purchased throughout tho Colony, will befitted with this gear, A first-class oyolc, fitted with tho Collier Two-Speed Gear, sells for £22105, and tnis at a net profit of JC3 8s per cycle, provides for a dividend of 2d per cent., and leaves a surplus of £BOO. This estimate does 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 profit, and the Directors have every reason to believe that this estimato will bo considerably exceeded, They see in this simple invention as great a revolution iu oycling, as was c»uscd by the advent of tho now universally adopted Pneumatic Tyre, tho company owning which paid, in IBU3, n dividend of 200 per cent., nnd placed £IOO,OOO to the reserve fund.

It is intended to establish the head office of the Company iu Wellington, as being the most central point to work the Colony from, No delay will take place in the Company doing business, as the gears are being made in large quantities in Kneland. The ' • Collier Two-Speed Gear" Company, Manchester, are prepared to supply them immediately. The purchase price fiscd by tho Vendor is £550 cash, £SOO in 12 months, 1000 fully paid-up shares, and a royalty of 10s por gear; but tire vendor is willing to forego receipt of any royalty on the first COO gears, Tho Vendor has made provision for the payment of all expenses of forming and Healing the Company up to the first allotment of shares. Whoro no allotment is made the application money will bo returned in full, and whero tho number of shares allotted is less than tho number applied for, the surplus will be appropriated on account of the allotment money.
