Six years ago one of the best informed
and most progressive of our cycling au-
thorities, Mr.. f. =. Prial, editor of The
/ Wheel, writing of the safety bicycle of
that Gay, mentioned the drawbacks of
the pneumatic tire as being cts large
size and the necessity of replenishing
the air to keep it properly distended. "
He advised that the ideal safety should
not be geared too high, but only to %
or 81 inches, except in the case of
strong riders " The gearing OF the
mans wheel of 1896 is from 90 inches
upward, gearing Of 20 inches being
about the average, and so not at all I'M

today when geared at so is easily pro.

But so far as it relates TO the common

There never was a dealer who found

Hawaiian
Electric
Compsn ny.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer A few days ago a prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire TO the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
