This is a tri-fold brochure prepared for the HAVERFORD CYCLE CO. of Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A. The actual size when open is 11 x 14 inches, when folded it is 3 3/4 x 9 1/8 inches. As on most of the Black Beauty literature, they have expounded the benefits and excellence of their products but did not mention the model year for the bikes illustrated. I think this is c.1917. The Black Beauty flagship model, the `Champion` is featured on one side while 8 other models are illustrated on the center-fold. The condition is poor, there are some tears on the bottom; photo #14. See the picture gallery.
