“My Goldskins keep me dry in the worst of weather. I always recommend them to my friends. I never get caught without them—they are always in my handy little cape-carrier.”
“All my racing kit is ‘Worthy.’ I like to get everything from someone who knows what the racing man wants.
“The ‘Sprints’ you built up on Constrictor Light Hubs are the liveliest I have ever ridden.
“Two ’25’s’ and a ’50’ Handicap already this season.”
A CYCLIST’S PICNIC SCENE—
“The ‘Primus’ is just fine. It cooks so quickly and packs up in the little bag on the cycle frame.
“The tent is champion—so easy to ‘put up.’ ‘Worthy’ Camping Kit for me in future.”
This lady says—
“I wish to thank you for the Rational Suit you have made for me. It is as smart as it is serviceable.
I have ridden in it and am quite satisfied with the comfort of it.
I shall recommend your suits to my friends.”
Mrs. Holdsworth gives special attention to Ladies’ orders. A special Ladies’ Booklet is sent free upon request.
“It’s nice to know that I can get any Bartholomew ½in. Map by return.
“There is no doubt but that they are the best.”
“Excuse pencil and writing, but the boys are waiting for me to go out on a run. You can scribble a postcard now and you will receive full particulars of all these and other cyclists’ wants in the free handbook—
‘AIDS TO HAPPY CYCLING.'”

[A whole page laid out as a picture paper under a gothic masthead, each drawing captioned with a customer’s words. A racing man in a jersey passes a tourist in cap and long coat on a country road; a rider comes through driving rain while another stands fastening his cape; a group camps and picnics around a Primus by their tent; two riders consult a map beside their machines; a man in the corner writes a postcard on his saddle; and the woman in the Rational suit stands by her Cyclists’ Teas signpost. The Worthy shoe brand and the Goldskin cape label are reproduced in the top corners.]
