Put a ring around the word
Opportunity" the occasion
makes it. Never in the his
tory of mercantile transactions
in Honolulu have the people
had such a golden opportunity
to select a lamp as today. A
manufacturer who had more
than he knew what to do with,
more than he had space to put
them, wrote us of his troubles.
We had none of our own so
we listened to him. Our stock
of lamps is the result of his
tale of woe and you get the
benefit.
A black lamp that will give
a bright light is not a fad, but
style that will remain until
"New Hawaii" shall become
old. Being sombre in color
they furnish with any decora-
tions you may have in your
room and any color shade that
suits your fancy will look well
on the lamp.
For dinner table nothing
furnishes the table better than
black banquet lamps. We
have them, not cumbersome,
but of a height that will
beautify rather than detract
from the other features. We
have piano lamps, hall lamps,
boudoir lamps and every other
character of lamp that ever
was made. The prices are SO
low that it would injure. our
business to put them in this
column.
