B. F. Williams, "Bell" Cycle Works, Stafford Street. This business affords a striking proof of what may be accomplished by energy and well-directed enterprise. It had its origin only a few years back at “Elephant" Works and in this new departure there is every indication of Mr. Williams being eminently successful. "Bell" Works have been specially constructed to meet all the requirements of the trade, and are equipped with the latest and best approved machinery and appliances for speedy and economical production. Mr. Williams claims for the "Bell" that it is equal in every respect to any machine on the market, and the numerous unsolicited testimonials, and the unusual pace at which the connection has developed certainly testify to the right of this claim. A large number of hands are employed in the various departments, and in all operations only the best quality materials are used, while another noteworthy feature of this establishment is the great care which is exercised to ensure that none but the most sound and highly finished machines leave the premises. An illustrated catalogue is issued each season, giving full details and specifications of leading lines, which are recognised by the names, "York," "Bristol," "Richmond," "Canterbury," "Royal," "Paris," "London," and "Brighton" Bell. A perusal of this catalogue will at once convince that the gross prices will bear comparison with those of any other house, while the terms to all classes of buyers are equally advantageous.
