The Goodrich-Resflex Single Tube is mauc irum \JUUUIH_LL f"T^^m/y^ 
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.

If there is one tire that would 
seem to be ideal, it s the Detach 
able. But ordinary Detachables 
are not "ideal." Far from it. 

Ordinary detachable tires have stiff wire edges. "Wire edges make 
them almost unmanagable. "G. & J. Detachables avoid this. No 
wire. The grip is at the second groove. Not at the edge. The 
tighter a " G. & J." is pumped the harder the edges are pushed into 
the second groove and the tighter they hold the tire to the rim. 
Once the tire is pumped up, these edges can t possibly get out. 
They have a pressure of 60 Ibs. per square inch, holding them into 
the "second groove." Besides, the support of the grooves at the 

edge of the rim absolutely protects 

the second groove from any acci- The Tire 

dental strain which would be liable to dislodge the edges. Further, 
there is the frictional support between the canvas protection strip and 
the opposite edge. Thus everything is bound together.

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. 





Until December 3Jst, 1899, we will repair or replace any 
"G. & J." Tires of our make found defective in either 
workmanship or material, provided same are sent HttKfJCdtt ClfC CO. Limited

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. 
A personally given guarantee means more sales.

The next tubes are the "Nunsuch" and the "Morgan & Wright." 




Both 



these are good tubes. 

Then comes the "Nextbest," complete with 1 899 Schrader Valve, and finally the " Aboutright," 

made by Morgan & Wright. If carefully used, the two

Jlcetylene 
6a$ Camps 



Acetylene is the gas that 
is as bright as electric light. 




They call this lamp the 
"B.&R." It burns about 
five hours at a time. 

To light it, calcium carb 
ide is put into the lower 
part of the lamp, and water 
into the upper. 

As the water drips on the 
calcium carbide it makes 
the wonderful Acetylene 
gas. You can t put the 
light out by shaking the 
lamp, for that only shakes 
down more water and 

makes more gas. The 

harder you ride the brighter 

this light burns.

The reflector doesn t 
spread the light, but it sends 
it straight ahead on the 
path. It has a bull s eye 
lens. That keeps the light 
where it should be shed. 

It is a light, not a 
bicycle signal. 



At a distance this 
lamp looks like an elec

If your chain breaks when you re on the road you ll

the makers have acted when they made the "Baldwin." 

As you may see, the chain consists of three parts. When 
the chain is under strain it is like an ordinary chain when an 
accident happens it can be mended in a few moments. And 
they are very light. When a rider is compelled to use the repair 
feature of the "Baldwin" he will be more than pleased with 
the results. 

All the "Baldwin" chains have "B" blocks, and the rivets, 
blocks, and sides are hardened. 

The "AB" chain has 
white links, chains "B" 
and " D " have blued sides. 

"C" chain is nickeled,

Clips and 
Coasters 




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. 
The enameled horseshoe clip does the same thing. The " corrugated " 
clip has additional strength from the corrugations, and it is made 
narrower and lighter than an ordinary clip.

Baking Enamel should be

This oven bakes by direct heat. 
All open-hearth ovens dry the 
enamel, by a current of hot air, rather than bake it hard, 
The frame and walls are made of steel, and the base is a steel 
casting. The ordinary baking for a bicycle frame has been 
four to six hours. By means of this oven, and our Goodflex 
Enamel, you can conduct a successful baking in one hour. 
We fit a burner for gas, gasoline, or kerosene as desired. 
The required temperature for enamelling, which amounts to 
420 degrees Fahrenheit can be obtained in five minutes with 
one of these ovens. The cost of a Goodflex oven is only 
a few dollars, and a great deal of money can be made by 
re-enamelling frames. 

It is not hard to enamel frames. We send full directions 
with every oven sold. The sizes of Goodflex Enamelling 
Ovens begin with an oven for two single frames, and run up 
till large enough for six tandem frames at once. We make 
special sues to order.

They take up handlebar vibration and prevent sore wrists. 

The hard rubber grips are furnished with a spring inside, 
and they slip over the handlebar and clasp it tightly. The 
sponge rubber relief grips are in one piece, and are slipped 
over the regular cork grips on the end of the handlebar. 

The "Inlaid" Grips, of which we 
show a cut, have a nickeled pattern 
inlaid in enamel of various colors. Not 
only does this make the end of the grip 
stronger, but it makes it very orna

soon as riders become acquainted with 
it, it will become popular.

out by unscrewing the binding nuts, and a single

it is kept in nine-tooth only. It is a guaranteed hub, 
and has a high, accurate, nickeled finish. 




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 
heavy for fast moving parts. Our chain lubri 
cant Goodflex Chain Lubricant contains fine 
graphite in suspension in a jelly-like oil which 
flows the graphite to all parts of the chain, 
and evaporates where it is exposed to the air, 
thus leaving the chain no surface to catch dirt.

The portion which is applied to the sprocket dries, leaving a fine layer of the purest graphite to take 
up the friction between block and tooth. It is especially useful when chain and sprockets are new, pre 
venting the wear which brings about this frictional contact, and preventing chain stretch. 

The tubes are very cleanly, and may be carried in tool bag or pocket withaut the least danger 
of leakage.

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.

Good Goodflcx 
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,

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 
flexine may be washed out of the tire with water. It does not hurt the tire in any way, and does 
not invalidate the guarantee.

"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.

This cut shows the Morgan & Wright Vulcaniser which can 
vulcanise as many as a dozen tires at one time. Like the " Goodrich" 
on the opposite page, this is a steam vulcaniser, and, in the cut 
shown with fittings for gasoline heat. The water is contained in a 

boiler, A, and s f eam is admitted by the valve V in the dome N t to the hollow bar G, to which the 

tires are hung, as shown. There is a thermometer and 

gauge, and a weighted safety valve to prevent accidents. "ftB 

No particular trouble will be found in operating it. There 

is no list price, but dealers may obtain quotations upon 

request. 

In using this vulcaniser, the dealer should open the valve 

" C " each morning, and pour water into the boiler through 

the funnel B until the height is shown as almost at the top of 

the guage H. To prevent possible choking of the gauge 

tubes, the lower and upper stopcocks at U and V should be 

frequently blown out for an instant. The stopcock Q at the 

end of the arm G should be opened for a time to blow the air out of the boiler and arm, when about to 

commence vulcanising. The steam from this vulcaniser is absolutely dry, being taken from a dome after 

the manner of a horizontal boiler. By a sheet iron jacket, the hat from the burner is concentrated into 

heating the boiler, without unduly heating the surrounding room, the hot air, finally passing out through

Rubber Cements, 
Sbeet Rubber 



Goodflex Rubber Cement is very easy to manipulate. In comes in jr TRADE MAftK 
tubes for the rider. Very small tubes for pocket repair outfits are sold at 
5 cents a tube. The tubes we show in this cut of box sell at 15 cents 
each, and are supposed to be used in tool bags. For the especial use of repair 



men, however, Goodflex Rubber Cement is furnished in X 
pint, pint, quart, and gallon tins. To apply, first clean the 
surface with emery paper or benzine, and when perfectly dry 
again, apply the cement. In a few seconds it will glaze over. 
Then, apply a second coating in like manner. If an especially 
strong joining is required, apply three coats altogether. When 
both surfaces have received their coatings, and are glazed over 
for the last time, press firmly together, and allow to set. 

According to the state of the atmosphere, it takes from 30 to RUbbCr CCIIlClU 

90 seconds for a coating of cement to dry sufficiently to re- 
coat or cement. Goodflex Rubber Cement should never be ^ 
used under the direct rays of the sun. 

Sheet Rubber is supplied in rolls about 4 inches wide and a yard long for use with Goodflex Rubber 
Cement. It is sold separately to dealers who retail it as needed to riders. It is of the best Goodrich 
quality, and no difficulty will be found with it, either as a repair shop supply or as a retail article. 

The Sheet Rubber stretches five times its normal length. That proves it s good.

Cement, 
Kettles 



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, 
fiard CCIttCntS are carried in a number of kinds. We 
recommend our fiard ClfC Cement which comes in one 
Ib. cakes as the best possible cement for use. It is made 
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.
