Looks from an ad I found, it might have been a juvenile bicycle or tricycle. I found it at this link:

Thank you very much. Did they sell Schwinn bikes? Barry

Dunno if that was for a bike at all, reading the case above it looks like they made baby carriages under that name.

Here are a couple more bits I found:

They were a manufacturer and retailer of their own products, so more than likely no Schwinn bikes. There's nothing to indicate that they manufactured bikes at all, but who knows?

Pre-war prams, man - there's nothin' like 'em. It'd be so cool if there was a bicycle.

Interesting history. It's amazing that they even tried to use this name, and that it made it out on their products and sales literature.

The main building from the ad above still exists in Chicago. It's been converted to condos and has balconies where some of the windows are.
