Establishment, Fort and Hotel
streets. has been known for years
as the headquarters OF Santa Claus,
and many a stocking has been
filled from this store. The assort-
ment OF books Is not confined ex-
clusively TO those adapted 70 the
use OF children-grOwn-up folks
can get everything they want here.
All OF the latest novelties in toys,
marbles. building blocks and games
are TO be found here "a well a pho
tOgraph frames, albums and such
things as are suitable for holiday
gifts.
Fancy articles and such pieces
"a are useful for decorative pur-
poses are suitable gifts at any sea-
son Of the year, but persons who
deal in them are particular TO have
larger assortments at this season.
Everyone who paints or makes
paper shades and flowers knows
where
King Brothers
Establishment is on Hotel street.
Wonderful improvements have
been made in this store Of late by
VIII King, the managing partner
electric lights have been placed
throughout the store, and, for
months past, the place has had the
attention of painters and decorators.
Artists have been engaged making
fancy cards, painting island views
and decorating glass frames for
photographs. The assortment OF
paintings and engravings is excep-
tionally large and OF an excellent
character.
House furnishing goods and arti-
cIes generally used about the house
and garden are looked upon as sta
pies. They are no longer luXuries
any more than the telephone.
The Hawaiian Hardware Co.
on Fort street opposite Spreckels
block established a reputation a
half dozen years ago for keeping
articles for the house and garden
and for including in their selection
only the best that can be found.
During the holiday season their
store is sought after by people in
search of lamps, stoves, ranges and
silver ware, both plated and solid.
Unlike such establishments in the
United States the management of
this company selects articles of a
character suited to the holiday
trade. The assortment of silver
ware lately received by this COM
pany is much larger than any car
ried by the company. They are
agents for several special lines not
ably the Monarch and Tribune
bicycles either of which would /.
make a handsome Christmas pres
ent to either a lady or gentleman.
Particular mention has been .
made thus far to the articles suit
able for children and men; the
ladies' specialties have in a meas
ure been reserved until the interior
of the handsome millinery estab-
lishment of
y. =. Sachs,
on Fort street, could be inspected.
This store is always well filled with
handsome laces, silks and hats.
For the Christmas season hats will
lead. They are both trimmed and
untrimmed. Sample hats from
New York and Paris have been re-
ceived, and styles in those cities
will be followed here except in
cases where original designs are
prepared. This season, as usual,
the Christmas souvenirs will be
given out by Mr.. Sachs-whether
they will be the handsome dolls
that now adOrn the windows or
articles of different character has
not yet been decided.
The girl with bells on her
fingers and bells on her toes Is
not to be classed with the new
woman. The girl OF today while
fond of music and all that sort OF :
thing would prefer a ring or
bracelet or a breach.
III. +. Wichman.
In his commodiOus store on Fort
street has a stock of fine jewelry
and solid silver ware such a. is
seldom found outside a city of
many times the size of Honolulu.
Mr.. Wichman makes frequent trips
to the Coast and to New York in :
order that he may keep in close !
