Hardware merchandising January-June 1897 . other competingnations together during the year. Her in-crease, however, over 1895 is not as favor-able as that of the United States.—N. of Commerce. BICYCLES ON INSTALMENT. A writer from a near-by city makes thefollowing rather caustic comments on a me-thod of bicycle selling that became rathertoo common last year : One bad businessfeature will be very severely avoided thisyear, , the plan of selling wheels ona small cash payment and the balance inmonthly instalments. Many of the dealerssold wheels with a payment of only $5 downand $2 per week. One of the latter nowhas forty-four second-hand wheels in hisstore that he had to take back from partieswho made the small payments and used thewheel during the season and then turnedin the wheel with the excuse that they couldnot make any more payments. It wascheaper to buy a wheel and make the pay-ments than it was to rent one, and advant-age was taken of the opportunity. Thisseason such people can expect HAIR CUTTERSrfoenv-yHaiipd and Power. You want the best. They are manu-factured only by Tiie COATES CLIPPER , Worcester, Mass. Catalogue on appli-cation. ^0<^
