The Hawaiian Pork Packing C3m
pany's Commemorate Enterprise.

Previous to last March, the pork
slaughtering business in Honolulu
was Unfortunately carried On by
Cinnamon and others, without any
regard to sanitary matters. But
since then the Board of Health has
required that this business shall be
conducted at Iwilei under the in
spection of a health officer The
Hawaiian Pork Packing Company
was recently organized for the bus
mess of slaughtering hogs, and at
present does this class of work for
the retail dealers.
The company has about 500
hogs at the yards, mostly imported,
and only choice grain and bran is
used in fattening the same. The
company import hogs only from
necessity, as the home supply is
not adequate. The pens are built
over salt water and are thoroughly
cleansed twice a day. This fact
and the character of the feed used
guarantees the pork to be of a SUI
perior quality, and free from any
noxious faint. The flesh thus pro-
duced is firm and even in grain
owing to the superior nature of the
food used.
A SUBSTANTIAL CONCERN.
The company is a stock concern,
E. G. Winston being president,
and Hon. John Ena treasurer.
The stock is owned by leading
BUSINESS men Of Honolulu. In
addition to slaughtering, the COM
pany will furnish sucking pigs and
roasters of any size, either slaugh-
tered or on foot. Hogs and pigs
of any size are also sold in guam
titles to suit, or will be slaughtered
to order.
AS all the pork sold by reputable
dealers is furnished by this COM
pany, it follows that none need
refrain from using the same, fear
ing that it may be unwholesome or
improperly prepared.
A NEW INDUSTRY.
The fact that the company has
provided the citizens of Honolulu
with an appetizing quality of pork
which may be eaten by the most
fastidious is matter for congratu-
lation and, in addition to this,
the company has just completed
arrangements for the manufacture
of leaf lard.
A plant is now in operation, and
a superior quality of extra leaf lard
is being produced which is far
superior to any imported article.
Many thousand pounds of lard and
"lard-compound" are consumed
annually, and the proposition
to manufacture this staple in
Hawaii is one which should
commend itself to everyone. Ger
tainly new industries and manufac-
tories are greatly needed here, and
the Hawaiian Packing Company
in instituting this industry are
marking out a way which, it is to
be hoped, will be followed by
others.
A sample tin of the lard has
been left at the ADVERTISER office,
and its purity is beyond question.
A wELL-APPoINTED ESTABLISHMENT.
| An ADVERTISER reporter visited
the yards at Iwilei and found a
well appointed and we'll conducted
slaughtering outfit, that is as COM
plete as any of the large establish
ments in the States, and which
can be enlarged as the business
demands. The huge scalding tank
is heated by steam, and the differ
ent operations, from separating the
hogs to delivering to the wagons,
are carried on Systematically and
expeditiously.
At Iwilei, leaf lard is only made
from the largest and latest ami.
mails, thus insuring a choice prod.
uct. The fat is thoroughly
cooked, strained, settled and the
lard is then manipulated in a tank
until nearly cool, when it is drawn
into tins.
