- Cycling, England, February 25, 1893
Beeston Bassett
Mrs. D.W. Bassett, as here delineated, is none other than the manager of the most famous cycle factory in the world, that of Humber & Co., at Beeston, Notts. Young in years, but aged in experience, Mr. Bassett fully succeeds in maintaining the fame of his firm; he is thoroughly of opinion that in order to do so, he must be continually making improvements in machines, regardless of the fact that the world says such a thing is impossible. Nevertheless, Mr. Bassett sets to work, and the results is, that year by year the Beeston Humber advances in public opinion, the coming season's machine being no exception to the rule.

Talk of the Trade
The most interesting topic in the Midlands this week is the appointment of Mr. D.W. Bassett to the managing directorship of the Albert Eadle Chain Co., a post which Mr. R.L. Philpot was to have filled six months ago. Mr. Eadle retired from the office of managing director, but, of course, retains his seat on the board, and there are no other changes in the personnel of the staff. Mr. Bassett has had as wide an experience as any man in the cycle trade today, and his reappearance in the trade proper will be hailed with satisfaction by all the old timers.
