Page-186, adverts for two different bicycles:
UNION Bicycle Model 12 by Union Cycle Mfg. Co. of Highlandville, Mass., with a lovely poem included in the text:
     The people who sarcastically twitter
At the probable utility of springs,
Will they show themselves as ignorantly bitter
'Gainst the introduction post mortem of wings?
     We presume that they'll accept the situation,
Nor find such means of traveling amiss,
Then let them welcome in the innovation,
Which we've embodied in a wheel like this.
