Item Description
7x8.25". 40 pages. Embossed cover continues "Cormully & Jeffery Manufacturing Co. Chicago." Believed to be one of only 3 known copies. 3-page text explains the quality, features, benefits and guarantee of the Rambler bicycles. Followed by illustrations of various models with lengthy text. Pictured are 4 men's bikes each priced at $100. Followed by three ladies models at the same price. Interesting to note that the ladies models are alphabetized rather than numbered like the mens varieties. The ladies bicycles also feature chain guards as to not let their dresses get caught in the gear/chain mechanism. The next 3 bicycles are tandems. Each is priced at $150. The first features a "Combination Tandem" with a ladies bike on the front half with the chain guard and lower support rail. The back portion of the catalogue features numerous accessories with price lists. A very extensive (and expensive) offering of products. Cover shows moderate wear/aging. Back cover has stamped dealer name/address. Spine remains solid/intact. Cover is VG. Scattered aging to contents. Fine.
