Chicago is noted for its number or
wheels seen daily on its streets and in
the parks. but for its size Honolulu
compares favorably with 1t. On the
road to the Waikiki Beach can be seen
hundreds Of wheels daily. We are able
to rent our favorite Chicago wheel
The Sterling" at much lower rate
than at home from the Pacific Cycle
Manufacturing Company. You can
purchase wheel from this company at
the same price Us YOU can from the
Chicago firm with merely freight added
They occupy large two story build
ing on Fort street and do their own
enamelling and in fact build bicycles

force of men putting wheels together
and on repair work. The Sterling has the
prestige here equal to any other wheels.
