Speaking of which ... we saw a young man racing in the 3 Day Races here at our velodrome last month, named Jackie Simes, who I think was said to be fourth generation of racing cyclist from that family. Talk about keepers of the flame?! Photos can be found, if anyone is interested.

I am with you Harry, really enjoying this look back at the cycling scene and the shops that existed then.
Of your scans, I was surprised to see the Simes shop in NJ. I guess I never realized that Jackie Simes family had a shop. Very cool!
Thanks for showing us those adverts,
