w. w. DIMOND.

Much of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there be-
cuse it is cheaper.
Twenty-Five per cent duty
is a great deal too much to
pay and it tempts people to
make purchases while they
are where they may buy it
cheaper. There is nothing
criminal in the transaction,
just a bit of practical econ
omy. There would have
been no necessity for these
buyers to 60 abroad, if deal
ers were willing to divide
with their customers. The
profit is large enough on
solid ware to cut off the
twenty-five per cent. and
sell it at a margin satisfactory
to every one. People do not
buy when they are abroad
because they can get better
goods, but because they can
get it cheaper.
The selections made by us
are from three of the largest
factories in the States. We
buy for cash and get the ar
ticles cheap and will sell
them at twenty five per cent.
or exactly the same as is
in San Francisco.
We have child's sets at $o.75
and full tea sets for a great
deal more; the quality has
never been surpassed in this
country and the prices have
never been equalled.
