THE AERMoToR.
The Greatest Windmill on Earth, Sold
by the Hawaiian Hardware Co.

needed ms III the Hawaiian islands.
During the past four years the
Hawaiian Hardware Go. has been
pushing most successfully the Acr-
motor. a mill acknowledged by
every one to he the hest wind mo-
tor manufactured. The peculiar,
yet simple. mechanism of the Aer-
motor is such that the mill will
run in the lightcst possible wind.
and in gale the construction is
such that the wheel heads up to-
the wind and keeps with it, so that
it is not affected. no matter how
hard the wind may blow, whether
steadily or in gusts"
In many instances the Acrmotor
has been put on sugar and rice
plantations for the purpose of ir-
rigating the land, and has proven
very satisfactory. For stock there
is no mill SO well adopted for the
purpose as the Aermotor. This
fact has been practically demon
strated by people who have in use
the Aermotor and other makes OF
wind mills.
Recently the Hawaiian Hard
ware Co. erected sixteen foot
pumping Aermotor on the grounds
Of W. II. Rice. on Kauai. This
outfit is used to supply water for
Mr.. Ricc's residence. 1t operates
u pump which forces two and one
half inch stream of water through
seven or eight hundred feet of pipe
to height Of one hundred and
thirty feet. The mill is on tower,
one hundred feet high. and is he
lievcd to he the highest On the isl
and. The Makee Sugar Co. has
also put up an Aermotor which is
used for supplying the quarters
with water.
Early this year Mr.. Paul lscn-
berg put up n sixteen foot geared
Acrmotor for supplying water for
his tenants rice patches. He also
irrigates land on which he raises
the finest sorghum grown in this
district. So satisfactory has the
mill worked that he il now erecting
another Of the same size. Mr.. Is
cnbcrg is an enthusiast on the sub
ject of Acrmotors. and IL plcascs
him to show visitors the wonderful
work his mill is doing.
In our climate, where there is nj
ways more or less moisture. the
bolts in ordinary wooden mills
soon become rusty and wear out.
and the wood in the fans rots and
has to be- replaced Mt considerable
expense. The Acrmot"r being
constructed entirely Of galvanized
steel such bad results are avoided.
II may be- well to state that the gal
vanizing is not done until the fans
are bolted together. by this means
there are no joints left unprotected.
The Hawaiian Hardware Co., tn"
sole agents for the sale of the Acr
motor, always have in stock II full
assortment of galvanized mills and
towers. The wheels vary in size
from eight to sixteen feet, the mid
dle and largest size being made in
either pumping or gearing style.
The eight and twelve foot may he
placed on fitting towers, 80 that the
matter of oiling the wheel is mere
child's play.
Recently there has been put on
the market n mill, which the man
ufacturers claim does not require
oiling on account Of the bearings
being set in graphite boxes. II
there was any real merit in the
graphite process, it would have
been adopted by every railway
company in the United States, as
graphite for this purpose is by NJ
means new thing; it is quite las
old as the hills" and the man who
buys any piece Of machinery, be-
licving it will not require oiling
makes mistake. The Acrmotol
Co., being the largest manufacture
ers of wind mills in the unite,
States, naturally has presented t.
it any improvements designed fol
use on wind mills, and it there il
any merit in the invention, it il
adopted.
Mr.. Hendry, the president of til,
Hawaiian Hardware Co., has sol,
more LII foot geared Aermotors in
this district than has been sold by
any single wind mill agent in til,
United States. As the people oI
today are carefulbuyers,this speak.
volumes for the character of the
Aermotor.
The Hawaiian Hardware Co. al
so carries in stock the patent non
shrinkable tank, an article destine,
to take the place Of the old fashion
cd tank, which shrinks and allow,
the hoops to drop off during dr,
weather. These tanks are in size
from 800 gallons upwards to 30,
