Here is an illustration of the way
the wind handled things during
the big St. Louis tornado. This
bicycle, owned in East St. Louis,
was struck by three barrels of
syrup, a tierce of lard and one
barrel of vinegar. Absolutely the
only uninjured parts are the saddle
and the Morgan & Wright quick-
repair tires, which were full of air
when the machine was found
Even if these tires had been
punctured, unless severely torn,
any one of the holes could have
been repaired by the quick-repair
device in them, without trouble.
Riders of these tires, when they
have a puncture, need only be
careful to pump as much air as
possible into the tire before insert
ing the quick-repair tool. The re
pair can be made in two minutes,
at the roadside, without taking the
tire off the rim. *
