~
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 day. This fact
and the character of the feed used
guarantees the pork to be of 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.
The company is stock concern,
E. c. 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. Foul Stops
OR rubbish is not used for food, as
the company import grain from
the Coast.
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. That the corporation will
receive the support of consumers
is foregone conclusion.
A sample tin of the lard has
been left at the ADVERTISER Office,
and its purity is beyond question.
Containing only pure leaflard, with
just a sufficient quantity of mutton
tallow to give it proper frmness,
it is far ahead of the heterogeneous
compound of cotton seed oil, alum
and refuse, which often passes for
Gard" but which is by law in
some States compelled to be Ia
beled "lard compound"
An ADVERTISER reporter visited
the yards at Iwelei 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, and only choice portions are
used. The fat is thoroughly
cooked, strained, settled and the
lard is then manipulated in tank
until nearly cool, when it is drawn
into tins.
The company aim at absolute
cleanliness and as great degree
of purity as can be obtained.
These points will be guaranteed.
A gentleman who is acquainted
with the lard manufacture in the
States made the following observa-
tons: 'The so-called lard-com-
pound is not lard" The legisla-
lures of many States compelled
pork packing establishments to
