“F. A. McClune, the hustling, pioneer bicycle dealer in Ithaca has become a pioneer local salesman of locomobiles, having been made the agent of the Syracuse Company. This company was represented here last week by C. A. Benjamin, who sold a run-about to Mrs. Loveless. Mr. McClune has made a study of the locomobile and is satisfied that it is the coming vehicle. All interested in the subject are invited to visit his place of business and see what he has to offer."
