VACUUM OILS.

If a new broom sweeps
clean, a we'll oiled piece OF
machinery ought to run
smooth. There is a saving OF
$50 per cert. to those who use
VACUUM OIL. An engineer
of one of the prin cipal plan
tations says of 600 Cylinder Oil
"That one barrel is as good
and goes as far as three
barrels of other kinds"
Those who are agents for
other oils are forced to get
VACUUM OIL to send to their
own mills.
Hundreds of competitive
tests have been made with the
600 w Cylinder Oil against
other grades, and it has de-
monstrated its value for eco
nomy and utility beyond all
question.
We also handle this oil in
three other grades known as
Vacuoline Engine, Arctic En-
CINE and the Heavy Dark Lu-
bricating Oil.
1t is about time to think of
placing your orders for picture
frames for the holidays. We
have the finest assortment of
new and unique designs ever
sent to the Islands. Spare us
a few minutes of your time
and we will show you the
samples. They are BEAUTIES.
