Devon Motorcycles

Mr. N. L. Frost, proprietor of the well-known Devon Cycle and Motor Works, Reibey street, announces in this issue that he has been appointed sole agent on the North-West Coast for the "Trusty Triumph" motor cycle, recognised as a standard machine, noted for reliability, comfort, and the flexibility of its engines at all speeds.

At present Mr. Frost has on view in his window a 4 h.p. Devon-J.A.P. motor cycle, built entirely on the premises, a fact which gives some idea of the capacity of the firm to carry out the most difficult work in the construction of machines of this kind, and also of the class of machines attached to this progressive place of business. Persons on the look-out for reliable mounts are cordially invited to visit the establishment.

DEVON MOTOR CYCLE WORKS, ULVERSTONE.

(N. L. Frost, Proprietor.)

This well-known firm was again in evidence with a full range of up to date motor cycles, including free and fixed engine Triumphs, B.S.A., Precision, Humber, J.A.P., New Hudson and Premier. Undoubtedly the pick of the bunch is the Triumph, which has long been recognised as the aristocrat of motor cycles, and for comfort, reliability, speed and economy is unsurpassed.

Another very attractive machine was a 3 ½ h.p. Devon-Precision, which compares very favorably with the imported article. This machine was built at the firm's factory, and during the day many compliments were received on the excellent workmanship and finish. Mr. Frost informs us that this machine is to take part in the reliability trials to be run on Nov. 9 and 11. In variable speeds, the two speed free-engine Humber and New Hudson-Armstrong three-speed are all that can be desired, whilst the B.S.A., Premier and J.A.P. are beyond criticism.

With a large stock of accessories, oils, spirits, etc., employment of only skilled mechanics, and personal attendance to all correspondence, customers may rely on their requirements being fulfilled with every satisfaction.
