Hello everyone,

I ran across this ad today while researching the history of Arnold Schwinn & Company. I cleaned it up and had to share it with my fellow bike freaks. Enjoy. Barry

Chicago Tribune 1899

Fabulous!
Thanks, for the heads up, Mark.
Thanks, for posting, Barry.
That’s a really cool advertisement.

The best price to pay for a bicycle, is the price of the best bicycle in, “The World.”

Schwinn had a retail store just down the street from Trump Towers?

It's ironic that Schwinn ad was placed in the Chicago Tribune.

In time, Sam Zell (Zell-Chilmark) ended up owning both companies 95 years later.

I tried to get a guy on Facebook to make me one for a frame I have that I’m convinced is a schwinn, didn’t end up working out

I hope no one with one of those badges ever lets anyone that'd repop them within a thousand miles.
