JUST 4 FEW WORDS

ON a subject
which we know will interest every one:
For years we have done the fine watch
repairing in Honolulu.
Difficult work of every description
which had formerly been sent to the
Coast, was first properly handled in our
Repairing Department. Such work as
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-01-29
We Charge Less
For Perfect Work

than you have been used to paying for
inferior work right along.
AS a matter of fact the ExPERT( y who
cleans your watch with pair of bellows
and crow-bar for so cents makes more
money than the honest workman who
does an honest job and charges an
honest price.
Because your watch is returned to you
running fairly we'll, it is no criterion that
it has been properly repaired. The great
annoyance attendant upon the repair
ing of watch, is that 80 out of SO cannot
tell if the work is well done-but are
satisfied if the watch is keeping some
where near the correct time.
Who can see the jewel protruding half
way out of the plate, or worse, sunk down
through the plate, fastened in with q
little glue, or hammered in with sledge.
How often the EXPERT grinds off the
broken staff. sinks the jewel q little
lower, tells you he has put in a new
staff and charges you little less than
the price and you go on your way reioic-
ing. But some day you will discover the
fraud, such work cannot last long. It is
dear at any price, which you soon dis
cover to your sorrow.
Moral: Make no mistake; take it
where you know it will be well treated
and that is the Repairing Department of

CHANGING KEY TO STEM WINDER

repairing complicated watches OF every
description; demagnetizing; making by
hand any lost part of a complicated
watch; in fact any difficult work pertain
ing to the repairing OF fine watches is
our especial forte.
The number OF watches which find
their way into our Repairing Department
after having been through the hands Of
numerous EXPERTS (?)is.beyond belief.
Whilst we are at all times ready
and willing to do every conceiv-
abe kind and condition of a job
would it not pay you better to
bring your watch to us in the FIRST PLACE
and be assured of an honest amount OF
work at a reasonable price, rather than
take it from one to another, causing you
delay and annoyance, to say nothing OF
the greater expense?

LOOKING BACKWARD

On our success for the past
year that we have been in

pleased with our sales, and we

that they are as fully pleased

A MISTAKEN VIEW.

1t is hoped that the opinion of the San
Benito Aduance regarding recent order
issued by the Eank Commissioners with
reference to the custody of public funds
temporarily entrusted to their care is not
generally entertained throughout the in
terror of the State. That order was to the
effect that banks shall not use public
funds so entrusted, but shall receive them
only as special deposits, seal them in bags
and keep them intact until called upon to
produce them. Our contemporary charges
that this was instigated by the banks Of
San Francisco in order that the working
capital of the interior banks should be re-
duced and the banks compelled to call on
San Francisco for money under the rule
made in 1898 prohibiting oyerdrafts except
those which are secured.
Our contemporary declares that as re-
suit of the rule of 1893 the resources of the
country banks were restricted and that
the City banks became glutted with
