First, it was nsed by the few who were so favored hy fortune that they could Indulge in the exhibiting exercise of speeding over roads and across couutry for what plMMUFt there oonld ho derived from it.

What th-automoble is now to the laboring class the bicycle wan at that time. The of 1 good wheel was so high that i nly those who were pOMiMtd Of more worldly gOOdl than they knew what to do with could atlord the luxury and even then they were so crudely made that MOn'l bicycling ran up juite an ex-penco account.

Pollaa Blk SO CAUfD -HCUUUI CASES" nn run DROPSY that there wan a demand for tx-tter and cheaper machines, manufacturers and machinists aimed to that end with the rt'-ult that manufacturing e-tabii-h-ments sprung up all over the world. The result has been all that could be desired. Today we see men, women and Children, in all walks of life, nsing the bicycle, not so much for pleasure aw of yore Ihi novelty having worn itself out- -but as a help to mankind in general in keeping pace with this busy, bustling world. Walking to and from one's work takes up too much of the time aud here is where the bicycle plays an important part, tn many manufacturing establishments in the large cities, are to be found rooms Ml appart for the storing of their employes' wheels during the time they ars at work.

Children nac them in going and coming from school, the exercise of the riding at the same time aiding in the development of their young bodies The doctor and the lawyer use them in going to and from the office, while clerks, sttlengitls and stenographers are aided by them in the same manner. The bicycle has come to stay and has superseded the horse in many ways, although it is not supposed that anything, not even the automobile, can take the place of that noblest of man's animal friends. Alma is fortunate in having a dealer in bicycles in the person of Pert Forquer, who thoroughly understands his business and who aims to satisfy all classes, of people. If you want the high grade chainless, it is to be found at his store If you want a high grade chain geared wheel at a more moderate price, he has if. If you want the cheaper grade, again lie can satisfy you.

Mr. Forqner first took up the business in I'JOO, at that time in 8t. ixm's. In P.wi2 he purchased the store in Alma owned by J. P.

Mo-Kay, considered at that time as good a stock as to be found in the oounty. He has in many ways improved the business in keeping with the times until now he ha as complete a repository as will be found anywhere in a place the size of Alma. Hi- ading makes of wheels are the well-known National, Kambler, Columbia, Crescent, Kacycle, Tribune, Hartford, Hud-on and many others of all grades. His specialty is repairing and enameling, ami he employes only competent men to assist him work. Bicycle sundries and sporting goods of all kinds can also be found in this well equipped bicycle store.
