What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, with one notable editorial section. The main content is a lengthy **advertorial essay** titled "Business Happiness" (top right), promoting the Columbia bicycle as an essential tool for businessmen. The piece argues that successful business requires physical exercise and mental clarity—benefits the bicycle supposedly provides. It's satirical in tone, mocking overly-serious workaholics who sit at desks for 15 hours daily, suggesting they lack the sense to recognize the bicycle's practical and health benefits. The page is otherwise filled with period advertisements for typewriters (Remington 1892 Model), revolvers (Smith & Wesson), bicycles (The Tourist, Sylph Cycles), anti-smoking tablets, and life insurance—typical late-19th-century products. **Notable detail**: A small joke appears mid-page: Uncle Ezekiel quips that "spectackeler" shows were named because everyone wore spectacles watching them—a mild pun on "spectacle." The overall message reflects Gilded Age attitudes promoting bicycles as modern, health-conscious alternatives to sedentary office work.

Stick to business — that's right — Attention to business is the first law of business — pity the business man who can’t do busi- ness without sitting at the business desk ten or fifteen hours a day —he doesn’t understand business— Good business is built on business judgment — business judgment is sense — business sense means dollars — business dollars and business clear-headedness go together — All indoors never made a man — nor will keep a man — Exercise of brain is well enough if exercise of body goes with it — Success now-a-days isn't in the amount of time work — it’s in the volume of brain discretion — If the business man knew how easy it is to learn to bicycle — two or three half-hour lessons teach the art — how economical the bicycle is, nothing to pay for care -- how delightful, how exhilarating, how strengthening, how brain-clearing — he would bicycle, and so would his wife, and his son, and his daughter — They'd all ride Columbias — there isn't a better machine than the Columbia—the thousands of Columbia riders don’t believe there is any other so good — All about Columbias in a book about Columbias, elegantly illustrated, free at all Columbia agencies, or mailed for two two-cent stamps.
