The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-11-25

for the holiday campaign state that
the article in the ADVERTISER the
other day has already brought
them inquiries for-goods that were
advertised.
But there are other stores and
other goods, and it i the intention
of the ADVERTISER to mention all OF
them. There are 50 many things,
for instance in a drugstore, that are
admirably adapted for Christmas
gifts.
The HOLSTER Drug Co.,
On Fort street, has something be-
sides a new glass front, and they
will have even more for the hOli-
DAYS. OF the goods already re-
ceived. some very handsome toilet
and manicure sets are shown.
These are put up In handsome
boxes. This enterprising firm has
the agency for kodaks and photo
graph supplies Of every descrip-
ton. Sample photographs show
ing what can be done with a five
doIIar-and-a-haIf camera, and 9TH
ers that were taken by more eX-
pensive ones. One OF these cam
eras would make an acceptable
present for a boy or girl, or even an
older person.
They are also agents for Scion
Palmer's celebrated perfumes and
extracts, and they deal largely in
CoIgate's and Lundberg's perfumes.
The first thing the average tourist
asks for on arrival IS for souvenirs
of various kinds, but generally the
tastes run to spoons. Nearly all
the dealers in silverware sell them.
Jacobson and Pfeiffer,
Opposite Ehlers IL Co., make a spe-
cialty OF spoons. upon which are
engraved Hawaiian scenes on
others there are punches Of fruit in
miniature. This firm also carries a
full line of jewelry and solid silver
ware for presents, and they make
to order almost anything in the
jewelry line.
For some reason, the Christmas
season Is selected by a great many
people as the time most suited for
the exchange OF photographs :;
Others believe that engravings or
even paintings are the proper
things for gifts.
The Pacific Hardware Company,
In the Cummins block, on Fort
street. carries an enormous stock OF
mouldings. They have for these
mouldings some rare prints and
handsome engravings, and even
paintings, which will make a very
pretty present.
You will also find here a fine
line of decorated tea and dinner
sets. lamps and chandeliers. They
carry complete sets OF colOrs and
brushes for artists and amateurs.
The stock here is new, and the style
of the goods the very latest.
The progress made in the manu-
facture OF celluloid has been some
thing surprising. The conventional
white stuff in imitation OF bone or
ivory which for years was the only
color that could be successfully
made is today only one of many.
Hebron Drug Co.,
At the corner of Fort and King
streets. shows some handsome toilet
sets in cellulOid, made in imitation
OF buck horn, tortoise shell and
amber, the latter 50 perfect that old
Amber himself could not tell the
difference. This firm has also a
complete assortment of extracts of
the most noted makers put up in
fancy boxes, suitable for gifts at
the holidays.
1t has been a fashionable fad
among swell people during the
past ten years to have a japanese
room in some part of the house,
and it Is Just as fashionable for
ladies to make up dresses and cur
tain decorations OF japanese ma
terials. Fureya, Iwakami, 1so-
shima and Murata IL Co. are
japanese merchants of consider
able note in this community
and in their stores will be
found great assortments OF dress
goods. For the holidays they will
also have toys such as are used in
Japan to amuse children in the
land of the setting sun. But il
your tastes run TO goods of Ameri-
can, French or English manufac-
ture, visit the handsome establish
ment OF
j. j. Egan,
In the Brewer block, on Fort
street. Here will be found an
array of dress goods for ladies, and
gentlemen's furnishing goods. Mr..
