THE HAMMOCK SAD[hole]LE
FOR LADIES AND GENTS.
We have much pleasure in introducing The HAMMOCK SADDLE with its patent Girder frame work, which now allows it to be fitted to ordinary Ladies and Gents cycles. Praised by medical men, to entirely prevent perineal pressure. Its net work construction affords perfect ventilation and keeps soft and comfortable; all tendancy to saddle soreness being eliminated, thus allowing a greater distance to be covered on this saddle than any other.
PRICE – £1 – 2 – 6
