    Description

    1918 Catalog B
    Washington Cycle & Supply Co.
    Tacoma Washington
    Great early bicycle and motorcycle catalog.
    Timing interesting, due to WW I.
    While there is no direct reference to the global war that had just finished, there are mentions of supply and pricing issues.
    And a push to include the ladies and children market as new users of the devices.
    Also, of course, as is frequently seen in these earlier years, interesting intersections of the manufacturing sectors in manufacturing.
    For instance, one of the first pages describes the "National" Line of Bicycles.  Finished in khaki color with white trimmings.  The popular line "now made by the Davis Sewing Machine Co."
    Further in the catalog, there is another mention of the great price reduction in the Yale Bicycles...that "twenty years ago...it would have cost you 0.00 or 5.00"  That the standardized production, modern machinery and enormous output of the factories allows for 600 bikes to be turned out per day.
    Great 158 page catalog.  Fully illustrated (some color plates--two color (red being the added pop of tone).
    In used condition.  Some inked in addresses.  Paper folds, spotting, etc.  But all still hanging together grandly for its age.
    Organized in following sections:
    1.  Bicycles, Velocipedes, etc.
    2.  Tires and Tubes
    3.  Sundries, Repairs, Tools
    4.  Keys
