THE FALCON

! knew a Falcon, swift and peerless
= 5 ever was Graded In the pine;
No bird had ever an eye so fearless,
Or wings SO strong as this of mine.
Lowell, The Falcon"
The nearest approach to the poets
ideal available in this little Paradise (of
the Pacific is the the Falcon Bicycle.
Ii stands today without n peer in the
orld of cy cles, and has taken first place
wherever introduced. 1t is manufac-
tureI by the YosT MANI FEATURING
COMPANY, a firm which has long since
acquired a worldwide reputation for
The exec lence of their numerous pro-
auctions, notably the famous Yost type
writing machines. The reputation of
the manufacturers of an article should
receive the most careful consideration
OF an intending purchaser. If their re-
putation is above suspicion he can have
no hesitation IN purchasing their goods,
even though he may not be altogether
familiar with the particular article they
may offer for sale, and which he desires
TO purchase. Although the Falcon
Bicycles have only recently been intro
duced in the Honolulu market they are
known all over the continent of Ameri-
ca as a wheel of the highest grade. Not

In addition to its high state of mechani

We make this assertion fearlessly.
knowing whereof we state. This fea-
ture in the Falcon has been brought
about by reduction of friction t, the
lowest possible point. In other ma
chimes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while in the
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 -four, 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 70 points of fric
ton in performing one rev luton on its
axle. The Falcon bearing being con-
structed with only nine balls las conse-
quently but As points of friction, or 30
points less in each bearing than other
machines. Summed up briefly, in all
machines there are six axle bearings.

Thus making a saving of----- 1870

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-

any other high grade wheel.
3rd. 1t runs easier than any other
wheel, having 1870 points of friction less.

pay cash for wheel do not go without
one on that account, we will give you
any reasonable terms you may desire.
