Business dead? Not much
Leastwise it is not so with the
California Feed Company. We
have made a business for our
selves, which has steadily grown
through all the hard times other
people are complaining about.
We have just secured from Mr..
j. f. Colburn his old stand, cor
ner Queen and Nuuanu streets,
and taken possession of those
large and convenient premises.
We had to do so, because our
old place at Leleo is too small
for our fast-increasing business.
In few days the bark "Mauna
Ala" will be here again with her
fourth full cargo Of Hay and
Grain, bought by our Mr.. j. N.
Wright who will arrive on that
vessel. We prefer to select our
merchandise ourselves rather
than have others do it, which
means that we get better goods
at a less price.
We thank our many friends
for their. liberal patronage fol-
the past three years, and hope
by strict attention to a business
we thoroughly understand tc
merit the patronage of as many
more.
