The nearest approach TO the poets
ideal available in this little Paradise (of
the Pacifc) is the the Falcon Bicycle.
IL stands today without peer in the
world OF cycles, and has taken first place
wherever introduced. 1t is manufac-
ture1 by the YosT MANUFACTURING
COMPANY, n 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 IL above suspicion he can have
no hesitation III purchasing their goods,
even Though he may not be altogether
familiitr with the particular article they
may oft,r for sale, and which he desires
TO pit elise. 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
only this, but EVERY WHEEL is ACCOM-

easiest running machine in the market.
we make this assertion fearlessly,
knowing whereof we state. This fea-
iure in the Falcon has been brought
about by reduction of friction to the
lowest possible point. In other ma
chlnes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while in the
ralcon there are only nine. In the
taicon 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 eacl
bearing has therefore 20 points of fric
ton in performing one revolution on it,
