14TH MARCH, 1918.
Cycling v.

Munition workers require to conserve all their time and energies; they achieve this end by always riding the
RALEIGH
THE ALL-STEEL BICYCLE
to and from their work. Here is an illustration of the service the Raleigh gives:

9, Terront Road, Harringay, N.

“I have used the Raleigh every day—wet, fine, snow, fog, or anything, as nothing stops me from riding to business. I have never spent a penny on repairs. After 4,195 miles the machine runs as sweetly as ever. It is about 6 miles to my business, and I ride there in 20 to 25 minutes.”
(Signed) R. W. PRIEST.

The Raleigh provides you with your own private carriage, costs nothing to run or maintain and is the quickest cheapest, healthiest and most pleasant mode of road locomotion. Guaranteed for ever.

PRICES: £11 – 10s.; £11 – 19s. – 6d.; £16 – 16s.
Raleighs are fitted with Dunlop tyres, and Sturmey-Archer 3-speed gear.
