P.U'woinn. fjIIIIS Company has been farmed lor the X purpose oi ncipming the sole patent ri;;lits (or New Zealand of (lie "Collier Two-speed Hear'' (or Cycles, mid to import o,' manufacture Cycles lilted with the gear. It is generally admitted liy ildurs ot the ordinary machine that >ts grcalesi detect, ns a means of locomoliou, is the I'iflictiltj of mounting hills and riding against the wind, or on bad roads. This is caused by the shiftfc geuriii'j. the amount of labour necessary to propel the cycle up bills and a«itinst head winds, or on bad loads, oad at the sinie time to allow n higher speed than usual to lie attained on level roads. Uill-vlimbiig robs cycling o' miieli of its pleasure, and it is to i'om-rve this harrier ilia', the " Collier TwoiSpecil Gi-ar" ha°- licen designed. It is simple in construction, stioog, and is built as [Hit :•; the machine. In use, all that is necessary is to raise a 1 io\ titled at the top of the eyelittg Inuno, a (1 the gcirhg is changed while riding at .my spied. Thus, if a hill is to he climbed, the knob is lowered, and immediately Ihe machine becomes much easier t ■ propel. On reachin i (he summit, by racing the knob the hi.dn v gear comes into p :, iy, and increased spe «1 isobtaimd. The hind work hitiierto ncc saury In propel .-thigh-geared machine on ,;ive ami take funds lias dekorcd umi:y people- fioni indulging in the pleaut'c oi cycling, and it is confidently anticipated that the "Two- need Gear" will add greatly to the popularity of the fiwrt. The " Collier Two-hpecd Gear" is alisiihitely new as a simple mechanical motion, and in this lies one great security to investors. It has been put lo every practical lest, tuiil tiie highest testimonials have been received from the lending English and Colonial lid'.-rs and engineers. Orders for Ihe " Collier Two-Speed" have already bre.i: cccivcd from the leading cyclo-niak.rs in Christchurch, Auckland, Duncdin, Napier. Ac, and it lias created the grealrst interest amongst cyclists throughout the Co!o;y. The immense strides cycling is mating throughout ti.e world, not only as a sport, but ns a me; ns o'. locomotion in the business affairs of life, must be apparent to every i.b?-:-ivcr. In New Zealand it it in its infancy, and the favourable climate (making it praeiicsl lo cycle almost ihe whole year round) points to ils being much more universally used than in less [avowed countries. It is estimated by experts that there wcro 2500 bicye'es sold last year in New Zealand, and in a very few years it would not bo stirpiising to see these figures raised to .1000. Considering the immense advantages of the " Collier Two-Speed Gear" over the single speed cycle, it is calculated that at least, 000 machines would be sold the first full scasou, aud it is confidently expected that | two-thirds of the cycles purchased throughout the Colony, will be fitted with this sear. A lirst-class cycle, lilted with the Collier Two-Spcrd Hear, sells for £22105, and tnis at a net profit of D Ss per cycle, provides for a dividend of 25 per cent,, and leaves a surplus of COO. This estimate docs not include any profit by way of interest on deferred payment business, or tor 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 estimate «ill be considerably exceeded.
