In 1899 to 250,487, with l value of S3.740.922. in 1904. and 38,707, valued at 33,228.189. In 909. while the output of motorycles increased from 160, valued at '88.674, in 1899, to 2.22S. valued, t 8359,180, in 1904, and 18,628, rith a value of $3,015,988, in 1909. The evolution of the bicycle from irimitlve and unserviceable types to , useful and attractive means of ravel may be said to have taken ilace between 1868 and 1890; and ta perfection and standardization Ino practically one form of structure, he modern "safety," between 1890 nd 1895. During this latter period he popularity of the bicycle became o wide-spread tbat the industry grew ery rapidly, but after about 1897 t began to decline. In 1889 there were 27 establishments engaged in the Industry, irhich gave employment to an averse of 1,797 wage earners and re orted products valued at $2,568,26. At the census of 1899, aftor the nduBtry had begun to decline, the verage number of wage earners was early ten times the value of products more than twelvs times as great s in 1889. A considerable recovery of the inustry as a whole is indicated by the tatistics for 1909. While-the numef of establishments in that year hows a decrease from the number in 904, the average number of wage tamers Increased 1,118. or 88.7 per ient, and the value of products, $6,>46,827. or 107v6 per cent.
