Some people prefer wire bound
garden hose because they think the
wire protects it from injury. Those
people are correct in their idea but
it is not the best hose for all that.
Pure rubber hose is a better quality
and will stand more knockabout
wear and tear than the wire bound.
If there is any doubt about it let
them try a piece of each and give
them the same use and see which
lasts the longest. We are selling
a hose reel that adds three times
the life to hose that the wire that
is wrapped around it will. -Four
dollars spent in a reel is as good as
two pieces of hose because it keeps
it in shape and allows no kinks.
We can sell you length of hose
for SAYS and reel for four dollars
more that will be as servicable to
you as three lengths of hose. The
reel never wears out.
A Pansy Iron Stove for $500 is
the best stove you can get in Homo
lulu for the money. This article
burns coal or wood and very little
of either; it is a good baker and
will last you as long as any high
priced stove you can buy. We
know of no better stove in this
market, if you think you can get
better one try it and then come to
us and get one that will bake.
Hendry's Ready Mixed paints
are spreading over the entire group.
We are shipping these paints by
every steamer to localities where
paints are not to be had and where
the people want to do their own
work. Any one can put on white
paint, but it requires all expert
enced man to mix colors. In using
our paints you get the advantage
of the experience Of the best mixers
in San Francisco and it is as easy
to put on as a coat Of whitewash.
Hendry's Ready Mixed is an eco
nomical paint because it is a good
spreader-Io gallons will give an
ordinary house two coats. We will
be pleased to send a color card to
any one on the other Islands desir-
Gus of improving the appearance
of their dwellings at very little
expense. The colors comprise
nearly everything from the very
light to dark shades and we sell
it for S2. so gallon.
The warm weather suggests OF
ice chests. Our stock, while not as
large as that shown in the factory
where they are made, comprises
some of the best moderate priced
ones. In selecting an article Of
this kind it is we'll to remember
that the ornamentation is not what
saves ice or keeps the food cold.
Our chests and refrigerators are
made of hard wood and on prin-
ciples that assure great economy IN
ice. Those with the little water
tank and faucet are convenient and
avoid the necessity for a separate
water cooler. We have them i'll
various sizes and prices so that
almost every one may be suited.
This is the season for muddy wa
ter, and the time for the adoption
of some plan for keeping disagree
able things out of the stomach.
All sorts of arrangements have
been tried, here and elsewhere, but
nothing has yet been found that
compares with the Improved Stone
Filter. Being made entirely Of
stone it has nothing to get out Of
order, nothing to take apart to
clean; one minutes use Of the brush
that goes with it, keeps the water
pure and sweet, at all times. We
sell these very cheap, and have
them to hold from a gallon of water
to half a barrel
