One gentleman was complain
ug t1 another the other dJN
because his dividends ou % Ger
ruIuyc.tmcut had been reduced
.jH 4s per cent per aunum. mot.
NIIn-ianduug the fact that he
bad got boz ON the ground floor
the present dividends are not
enough Compare the cost of
living In Hawaii with q better
living n the Eastern States and
yOu lind it dcarcr here. But is
there such "a difference as would
warrant q man growing at a 45
per cent investment while the
New Yorker looks pleasant
when he succeeds in placing his
money at 4 per cent and feels
pretty good when he gets three
/ per cent. There's no reason
why people here should not be
|as well satisfied with a ten per
cent profit on their money as they
h are in the East with a much
smaller one. To those who find
it difficult TO live on the pro-
Cccds OF such investments we
extend an invitation TO examine
the goods we offer at prices that
should meet the approval Of
people of limited means. We
have advertised for the past few
weeks a line of coal and wood
stoves at extremely low prices.
Some housekeepers prefer to use
/ Kerosene for cooking to either
( coal or wood first on account
oil a difference in the cost as well
as on account of the ease with
which the oil stove may be
lighted as well as because OF the
little heat there is in the kitchen
after the light is eXtinguished
We have lately imported some
oil stoves with ovens and al
late Improvements. We are tolc
by parties using them that they
are convenient and easy tC
handle. These stoves have al
the fixtures for cooking, the same
, as are found in ordinary iron
stoves and are absolutely tree
from SCOT or smell. For per
sons who wish to get a mea
quickly and avoid changing ovel
hot fire" The amount Of OF
! used in cooking a meal is in
I significant and we sell the stove
at very low price.
Now comes the season TO
i getting the lawn in shape for tn,
summer campaign; Lawn Nov
,, ers, Garden and Hedge Shear

e are prepared to furnish them a
r very low figures. Our Gardcl
: Hose is much sought after be
6 cause the quality is the bes
v obtainable. Gold Seal stand
0 first in quality and price but tn
d AL Superior is such close sec

If prefer it because of the differ
r ence in price. We have ais
