The nearest approach to the pCets |
ideal available in this little Paradise (Oi |
the PacliiC) is the the Falcon Bicycle. |
IL stands today without peer IN til, |
world OF cy les, and has taken first place /
wherever Introduced. 1t Is manUtaC- |

COMPANY, a firm which has long since
acquired a worldwide reputation for
the exec lenCe of their numerous pro-
uuctiuI s, notably the famous Gost type
writing machines. The reputation of
the manufacturers of an article should
receive the most careful consideration
o an intending purchaser. II their re.
putation is above suspicion he can have
no hesitation IN purchasing their goods,
even though he may not be altogether
taminar with the particular article they
may offer for sale, and winch he desires
o purchase. Although the Falcon

duced IN the Honolulu market they are

ca as u wheel of the highest grade. Not

ure III 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 aIe only nine. In the
Falcon the bearings are 50 constructed
that the balls have only two points of
contact in their track, while III most
other machines there are -four. In all
machines each ball will touch at five
points In one revolution of itself.
a whe,l with fifteen balls in each
bearing has therefore 10 points of fric
ton in performing one revolution on its
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 bearings.
