After several years of exorbitantly largo protits tlio manufacturers of bicycles have bcnn compelled to very largely reduce their prieos. The pub lie actually refused to longer pay S100 for a machine which can bo built for one quarter thai amount. A few maker.* saw this some lime ago and put on the market cheaper machines at very greatly reduced prices which so cut into the business of the higher priced manufacturers that iu pure self defense they were compelled to bid good bye lo their old high prices. Why should not tlic panic thing oc cur with type- w riting machines? They im doubt cost considerably loss to pro duce. thiin bicycles, and yet- some of them are selling at the ridiculously high price of $l!)0. It is fair to infer that a machine which sells at #50 costs close to ?|.r> to manufacture. If n few largo department alorcn in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi cago, etc., wortld arrange for large quantities to be manufactured for them by houio one outside of a Triiat. the pi ices would come down to reasonable llgures as have thono of bicycles.
