! Lowell, The Falcon"
The nearest approach to the poets
ideal available in this little Paradise (oi
the Pacific is. the the Falcon Bicycle.
1t stands today without a peer in the
world of cyc Giles, and has taken first place
wherever introduced Ii is manufuc-
turei by the YosT MANI FACrURINu
COMPANY, a firm which has long since
acquired a worldwide reputation for
the exec lence of their numerous pro-
ductions, 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. Ii their re-
putation il above suspicion he can have
no hest alton IN purchasing their goods,
even though he may not be al together
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 wheel of the highest grade. Not
only this, but EVERY WHEEL Is ACCOM-
PANIED BY THE EosT MANUFACTURING
CoMPANY's GUARANTEE FOR ONE YEAR.
In addition to its high state of mechani
cal perfection the Falcon is by far the
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 reduction of friction t. the
lowest possible point In other ma
chimes the bearings are constructed

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 10 points Of fric
ton in performing one revolution on it's
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
structed with only nine balls has conse-
quently but 40 points of friction, or 80
points less in each bearing than other
machines. Summed up briefly, in all
machines there are six axle hearings.

| 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:

any other high grade wheel

wheel, having 1870 points of friction less. !

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