While the rainy weather is
not pleasant for the pedestrian,
it teaches us to appreciate the
sunshine when it is here. In
addition to this it creates a
demand for the best steel mat
made = the Hartmann, of
which we have a stock of
assorted sizes. These Mats
are better than the foot scraper
and will last longer. For
Kauai mud, of the early red
variety, there is nothing to
equal it. Maui mud can be
handled with the same ease
and dexteriety by the use of
the Hartmann Mat.
Two articles we handle for
plantation use are growing
more popular every day: the
Colorado brands of lubricating
oils and the locked wire fence.
The oils after a trial lasting
more than a year have proven
better than any other oil i'm
ported to these Islands. We
have 1T IN use on nearly all
the plantations and we are
adding new customers to it
almost every week. Dynamo,
Engine, Machine, Castor,
Cylinder, Car Box and Red Seal
Valve, make up the list that
covers every branch of
for which oil is
used. Cylinder oil may be
used six times before it begins
to separate; this cannot be
done with any other grade of
oil.
The Locked Fence is a good
deal like certain varieties of
cheese, it speaks for itself.
Wherever a rod of this fence
has been built we have had
orders from otherparties in the
same neighborhood. Strength
and economy are the two
points which commend it to
the public.
lfyou can get a better article
Tor less money than you would
pay for an inferior one, WHY
not buy the best, and save
?
