Rubber. Only pure rubber is used. A secret solution is added. jBJilaJiB
This secret solution has made the Goodrich rubber business famous.
It gives all Goodrich productions quality.
Tubes have this quality.
Of course you know the Goodrich-Re
rallying cry of many thousands of riders,
them. Those two sentences, "pump em <
are becoming known all over Canada.
There are a great many little points
connected with this tire. For instance
the corrugations in the tread prevent
side slip. At the same time they don t
throw mud. The mud can cling to a
smooth tire but not to a tire which has
the corrugations shaped like those on the
Goodrich-Resflex Single Tube.

Now, the catch phrase as to "mend em in a minute" qualities of Goodrich-Resflex Single
Tubes may have excited curiosity. You do "mend em in a minute." With every pair of Goodrich-
Resflex Single Tubes you get a free vest-pocket kit beautifully nickeled. This tool contains "Jiffy"
which fills punctures perfectly, and with the nickeled pump which is also furnished you can pump
up your tire and have it quickly re-ridable. There is no puncture of a single tube that the "Jiffy"
kit will not cure.
You may get Goodrich-Resflex Single Tubes, the
tires of "quality" and "air-tightness," if you are buying
a new bicycle, by merely specifying them. Or riders
may buy them from local dealers, who will order
them, as we don t like to retail directly to riders. You
may buy a single Goodrich-Resflex tire, if you like.
r " v You may buy the "Jiffy" separately, also.
Between the guarantee and the quality of this
rubber, you will find Goodrich-Resflex Single Tubes most satisfying tires.

The " G. & J." Tires are made of famous Goodrich Rubber, and have all those good qualities
which have made the Goodrich-Resflex Single Tubes so famous. The inner tube furnished is the
famous Goodrich Inner Tube which you "pump once a month."
The Valve is the Standard Schrader, 1899 pattern, which gives riders repairs for their valves in
every little village and not merely in the large cities.
A pump and kit go with every pair of tires.
The repair kit of the "G. & J." Tire is in a small box enameled in dark
blue, occupying almost no space. A supply of cement, emery paper, and rubber
completes the outfit. Punctures may be mended very quickly.
The "G. & J." Tires are much easier to manipulate than the detachable
usually found. By far the strongest claim in their favor is their "soft edge."
The tubes furnished with "G. & J." Detachables have a plated ferrule at the
valve stems. The ferrule protects the rubber from chafing against the side of
the wood in the rim. Each of these tubes are stamped. Always look for it.
Genuine tubes have the stamp.

Double Cubes
Every repairman needs a cheap tire. We have
a cheap double tube. "We do not recommend a cheap
single tube. Only 2,000 of these "XXX" Double
Tubes are made. They have Morgan & Wright
Inner Tubes and good rubber cover. Of course, being sold at a close price,
there is no guarantee given on the tire by us. With fair usage however, the
tires will give good satisfaction to riders and repairmen.
You make a bigger profit than we do on this tire. You can afford
to guarantee it. You needn t guarantee it unless you like. But you can guarantee it this way.
In case a repairman wishes to give a guarantee on the "XXX" Double Tube, he may do it in
this manner. Each letter " X " on the tire has four arms. On the three letters there are twelve
arms. And there are twelve months in the year. Each arm can represent a month.
Let the six top arms represent January, February, March, April, May and June, and the bottom
arms July, August, September, October, November and December.
When you make your own guarantee to the buyer, cut out the arm that represents the month
your guarantee expires.
For instance a tire marked " XXX " means that the guarantee expires June 30. A tire marked
"XXX," July 31. A tire marked "XXX" expires September 30, but marked "XXX" on
October 3J. The plan is easily understood. But make your guarantee short.

five hours at a time.
To light it, calcium carb

into the upper.
As the water drips on the

they are very light. When a rider is compelled to use the repair

Clips and

for trousers are the safest of appliances when you think of
the accidents that happen from sprocket and chain. We think the vest
pocket style we show is very neat. But we take pride in our horseshoe-
shaped clip, too. The idea of the cloth-covered horseshoe clip is to
prevent the bare clip from injuring the rider s trousers with rust.

clip has additional strength from the corrugations, and it is made
narrower and lighter than an ordinary clip.

JflmOnOil is made expressly for the use of bicycle riders on the road. It is a jelly
like lubricant, which comes in tubes, and which is very handy to carry in the tool bag. It makes
chains run very easily, but it is especially good for hub and crank hanger ball races because it does
not gather dust to any entent.
Unlike most chain lubricants carried in tubes, AJmonoil will not soil the hands, and it has the
additional quality of giving a very fine polish with which to finish off the enameled parts of a wheel.
Almonoil is also a nice temporary finish for all nickeled parts of the bicycle, which it keeps
from tarnishing. A little Almonoil on a rag will clean a chain off as well as oil it. JOc. a tube.
Even in the hctest weather, Almonoil does not melt.
Lubricants
The trouble with a chain lubricant is that it has to be as dry as possible in order
to avoid the gathering of dust on the chain. The best known dry lubricant is
graphite. Graphite, however, is very dirty and dusty. Often it contains grit, which
is as bad as dust from the road. Some makers have tried to avoid the dusty quality
of loose graphite by incorporating it with a
heavy oil, such as grease, making a solid
stick. The trouble with this kind of a chain
lubricant is that it remains for the most part
on the outside of the chain, discoloring every
thing, and what works into the chain is too

they are very valuable for attaching grips to handlebars.
HlU$brOOm$ are finished in two styles of the nicest rubber. We can guarantee that ours will not
loosen from the inner tube or tire, and that they will be most satisfactory. No retail price.
The proper way to attach a mushroom to an inner tube is to first clean both surfaces with either
emery paper or benzine. When perfectly dry, apply Goodflex Rubber Cement to both the tube and the
mushroom and press together. If there is no hole in the Inner Tube, make one by means of a hot iron,
and place the centre of the mushroom exactly over the hole in the tube.
To attach a mushroom to a Single Tube Tire, the first step is to cut out the old valve stem, then
clean the inside of the tire thoroughly with benzine. When this is done, insert the mushroom, having
applied Goodrich 434 Vulcanising Solution (and allowed same to dry) to its upper surface only, being
very careful not to allow any of the solution to get on the lower side of mushroom. If there is a cavity
around stem, pack same with raw gum, then vulcanise the whole in a Goodrich Junior Vulcaniser for
twenty minutes.

Oil
The best oil is free from chemicals. Chemicals cor
rode bearings. They make them rough. Some oils are
impure. They contain acids. Goodflex Oil is absolutely
pure.
If an oil is too light, it will * cut " the bearing the same way sand in the bear
ing would do. A poor oil will run as thin as alcohol or benzine, when it gets hot.
For an example, put a little leaf lard in a journal box of some machine, and watch
the journal heat up within five minutes. Goodflex Cycle Oil never thins out under
use.
For slow machinery, a heavy oil like tallow is the best. For fast machinery,
like a bicycle hub, a light oil of good quality is necessary. Goodflex Cycle Oil is
an ideal good light oil.
Goodflex Oil never stiffens in hot weather. It contains no dregs. It is made
for bicycles. It is too pure to " gum." "Gum " indicates the weighting of a poor
light oil with resins. Goodflex Oil is good.
The more careful a rider is to get a good oil, the better will he be able to ride
long distances. A poorly oiled bicycle means not only a great deal of extra work
on the part of the rider, but an unnecessary strain on the bicycle itself. A bicycle
which has been habitually poorly oiled, or left unoiled, will often break down when
least expected. Threads will strip, cones will break, balls will have to be con
tinually replaced.

Resflexine, Cireine,
Restorative, Jiffy
RC$f ICXJnC is a liquid preparation for injection into tires in summer.
In cheap tires, the reduction in price is made by reducing the amount
of gum used. To make up for the small amount of rubber gum, the
gum is heavily loaded with certain insoluble, powered chemicals. In
hot weather, as the tire is ridden, these little particles of powder drop out from the substance of the
rubber and leave minute air holes through which the air begins to leak, giving the tire "heat leak."
The reason Goodrich-Resflex Single Tubes, or Goodrich Inner Tubes need pumping "once a month"
is because the rubber in them is pure and has no such adulterating chemicals. The function of
Resflexine is to stop this heat-leak. It permeates all these minute pores. Air can t get out. It is
not acid, and it does not prevent the tire from being repaired later. At any time desired the Res

"Jiffy" has another use. When you get a tire to repair, put it liberally inside the tire, having
diluted it with benzine, and it will stop cheap porous tires from leaking. In that it is very valuable.

is used by both riders and repairmen. When

around inside to enable the inner tube to slip easily.
When a tire is being vulcanised, the surface of the vul-
caniser is covered with soapstone to prevent the tire from adhering to the hot
bed \vhich effects the necessary chemical union between the sulphur and rubber.
To apply it pour the soapstone into a small cheesecloth bag and sift it
out as required.

The old way to put hard tire cement on rims -was very troublesome. This
is the new way. When the rim is on the -wheel and trued up, it is run around
on the wheel of the kettle. The little wheel takes up the hot cement as it passes
around and transfers it to the rim. The more times the bicycle wheel is turned, the
thicker is the cement deposited on the rim. Thus hard cement can be put on very thinly or very thickly
at pleasure.
This cut shows the cement kettle fitted for gas. We
have fittings for gasoline or oil for those who cannot procure
gas. Of the two special fittings, we recommend gasoline,

specially for us. We recommend also our "StiCkphflSt"
Cement, which comes in a cylindrical wooden box. As
the cement is needed, box and cement are broken off with
a blow from a hammer.
A hard cement should be soft enough to hold very
strongly to the rim. It should not be so hard as to be brittle. If it is too hard it will not adhere
to the tire. If it is too soft it will stick to everything, and work out from between tire and rim
in hot weather.
