Cook's; Sub-Agencies at Warmate, Temuka, Ashburton, Rakaia, Leeston, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, and Cheviot. The “Red Bird” is a favourite bicycle and is manufactured by the Canada Cycle and Motor Company. This machine, which is most durable and light has been most successful in various races in New Zealand. W. Martin, on his “Red Bird,” won the one and three mile Otago Championships at Dunedin, also the one five mile championships of New Zealand, for 1902, at Invercargill. On Good Friday, at Lancaster Park, the speedy “Red Bird” was eighteen times first in the one day, out of twenty-four heats and finals. The “Red Birds” are remarkable for durability and easy running qualities; they are fitted with ball-retainers, bearings of the simplest adjustment, and flush joints. These machines can be had in any colour, at the purchaser's choice. The firm also keeps an up-to-date stock of sundries, and also does enamelling and repairs to all classes of machines.
