In addition to its high state of mechani

easiest running machine in the market.
We make this assertion fearle sly.
knowing whereof we state. This fea
lure in the Falcon has been brought
about by q reduction of friction t. the
lowest possible point. In other ma
chimes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while in tn,
Falcon there ale only nine. In the
Falcon the bearings are so constructed
that the balls have only two points of
contact in their track. while in most
other machines there are toul. In all
machines each ball will touch at five
points in one revolution of itself.
A wheel with fifteen balls in each
bearing has therefore 10 points of fric
ton in performing one rev luton on It's
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
sJructed with only nine balls has cunse-
quently but 40 points of friction, or 30
points less in each bearing than other
machines. Summed up briefly, in all
machines there are six axle bearings.

This is not all, but then we cannot tell
you everything in an article of this
kind. We ask you to call and examine
the Falcon for yourself, when we can
demonstrate the details of its construc-
ton to your satisfaction. But before
closing we would remind you briefly:
LIST. That the Falcon is beyond ques-
tiun the best wheel ON the market
End. 1t sells fora lower price Than
any other high grade wheel.
3rd. 1t runs easier than any other
wheel, having 1870 points of friction less.
4th. If you are not in position Ia
pay cash for wheel do not 90 without
one on that account, we will give you
any reasonable t, rms you may desire.
