IF there was TO be another food
and another Noah there would be
lust as many people caught i'll the
rain" We've sold Hartman Steel
Mats for four years and the first one
sold is i'll as good condition to-day
as when it left our store. And
Cocoa mats too, are serviceble and
cheap-and if the rainy weather
continues YOU will want one OF
each-the Steel wire mat to take off
the rough dirt from your shoes and
the Cocoa one for polishing up.
These Cocoa mats are made to order
in England, and we sell them at
prices ranging from so cents up
ward. The Aloha style costs a
little more because of the additional
work there is on it. We are hay
ing considerable rain just now and
after rain comes mud and after
you've taken the mud into the house
on the soles of your shoes, comes a
scolding from your wife. This can
all be avoided by an expenditure of
a few dollars with us in the pur
chase of mats.
One OF the best lamps to carry
around the house or to burn all night
is Nutmeg Lamp" made of metal
and either nickel plated or plain
brass. There is no danger of ex-
plosion and they hold enough oil to
burn from dusk until dawn. You
may have one for fifty cents.
From the number of inquiries
received concerning Aermotors and
from the sales made during the past
two weeks we imagine that people
who lost money last year by not
having plenty Of water do not intend
to suffer from the same cause again.
Springs and subterranean water
courses are as numerous i'll the
Hawaiian Islands as gold leads i'll
the Rocky Mountains and if the
people would only hunt them out
and use Aernotors for pumping and
distributing the water they would
have more comfort i'll their houses,
better crops and more contented and
better cattle and horses. Aermotors
are i'll different sizes and vary i'll
price. Unless you want large
quantity of water the S-foot wheel
will answer your purpose-if you
want twenty thousand gallons an
houryOu will require larger wheel;
something that will not only pump
water, but which will saw wood,
run grind stone and grind corn at
the same time. A geared Aermo-
tor will do all this and save you
money.
People right here in Hawaii have
saved entire crops by adopting the
Aermotor for pumping water. One
man told us he would have lost
three thousand dollars in one sea-
son if he had depended upon the
rain for water.
1t is astonishing how the Stand
ard Manufacturing Company's en-
amel goods have jumped into favor
here in Honolulu, since we put
them OH sale. But when you think
Of it; perhaps it is not SO astonish-
ing-superior goods create a de-
mand for themselves, and the arti-
Giles made by the Standard Co.,
and sold by us, are Of excellent
design and workmanship. We
have another large invoice of tubs,
closets and shower baths, on the
way, 50 that if you contemplate
making any changes in your bath
rooms, it would be well for you tc
consult us regarding the improve
ments, We have some of the
cheap enamel tubs in stock now,
and if you do not wish to go to any
very great expense i'll fitting up
that portion of your house, call
on us.
They say, that to keep everlast-
ingly at it brings success. That's
what we did in the matter of push
ing the sale Of the Jones Locked
Fence. We laid before the people
proposition to decrease the cost
of fencing about fifty dollars per
mile, We kept telling them that
we would give them a better and
stronger fence, for less money than
they had paid for poor things be-
fore, and it brought us success.
Any man who learns that he can
get strong fence by using one.
third the number of posts, and just
half the cost on what he does use,
by adopting the Jones Fence, there
should be nothing in the way of
his building it. We've had this
fence on sale less than a year, and
you would be surprised to know
the number Of plantations and
ranches now using it. We tell
you candidly, that it is one of the
best things we have ever sold.
