The nearest approach To the poets
ideal available In this little Paradise (of
the pacilic) is the the Falcon Bicycle.
IL stands today without a peer in the
world Of cycles. and has taken first place
wherever introduced. II is manufac-
turei by the Iosr FEATURING
COMPANY, n firm which has long since
acquired worldwide reputation for
the exec lence of their numerous pro-
auctions, notably the famous Iost type
writing machines. The reputation of
the manufacturers of an article should
receive the most careful consideration
OF an intending purchaser, IL their re-
pulation Is above suspicion he can have
no hesitation IN purchasing their goods,
even though he may not be altogether
tamiiiif with the particular article they
may Oft, Tor sale, and which he desires
10 lurchase. 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-
TANNED III lht 1OSl

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 n reduction of friction Il 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 mosl
other machines there are -four. In al
machines each ball will touch at five
points in one revolution of itself.
A whepl with fifteen balls in eacl
bearing has therefore 40 points of fric
ton in performing one rev luton on it,
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
structed with only nine balls has conse
quently but 40 points of friction, or 81
,,uints less in each bearing than othe
} machines. Summed up briefly, in al
machines there are six axle bearings.

over other machines.
This is not ali, but then we cannot tel
you everything in an article of thi
kind. We ask you to call and examin
the Falcon for yourself, when we cal
D demonstrate the details of its construc
ton to your satisfaction. But befor
: closing we would remind you briefly:
LIST. That the Falcon is beyond ques
ton the best wheel on the market.
End. 1t sells for lower price thai
any other high grade wheel.
3rd. 1t runs easier than any othe
wheel, having 1870 points of friction less
: 4th. III you are not in a position t
pay cash for wheel do not go withou
one on that account, we will give yo
any reasonable terms you may desire.
