Thanks for posting! It's interesting to see that the men's models are both shown with front and rear fenders. In the 1890s mens bikes tended not to have any fenders so I was wondering when CCM added those. The answer is very early!
To see the design of the chainring and shape of the ladies frame can be very helpful when trying to identify a badgeless bike. The continued use of a spoon brake instead of the new coaster brake, which had been around for one or two years, is also interesting to note. Finally, it's nice to see the style of pedals and saddles that were used.

i have this catalogue.it is for the Uk as prices are in pounds. Maybe that is why they are showing fenders.
It would be nice if someone went to the Toronto public library and got a copy of the 1904 Cleveland catalog they have
I can do that in July when I'm on vacation. If I get scans or photos of it I'll post them.
That would be great the lBrian.is Here is the library link
