The nearest approach TO the poets
ideal available in this little Paradise (of
the Pacific) is the the Falcon Bicycle.
IL stands today without peer in the
world of cy Giles, and has taken first place
wherever introduced. II is manufac-
turel by the Yosr MANI FEATURING
COMPANY, firm which has long since
acquired n 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. II their re-
putatiun il 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 Htr 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 YosT 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 fearlessly,
knowing whereof we state. This fea-
ture in the Falcon has been brought
about by reduction of friction tc 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 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 10 points of fric
tion in performing one revolution on IL
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
structed with only nine balls has conse
quently but 45 points Of friction, or 81
points less in each bearing than othel
machines. Summed up briefly, In al
machines there are six axle bearings.
