The holiday season has been
one of exceptional and unex-
pected prosperity to us. For
weeks past we have been calling
attention to fancy goods as well
as those of an ornamental char
acter. We might have advertised
strictly useful articles, but peo-
pie as a rule, draw the line at
cumbersome presents placed in
the hosiery hung besides the
hearth. A Jewell stove, for in
stance, would be injurious to the
average Honolulu stocking, but
it would have been most accept
able in the homes of a great
many people here.
We have just received very
large invoice of these stoves in
all sizes, from the smallest to
the largest made at the factory.
Our prices for these stoves are
so reasonable that one of them
should be in every home in
Honolulu.
Our method of selling to isl
and customers is an innovation
to the people of the islands; the
price of the stove in our store
is the same at any shipping port
in the islands-we pay the
freight from Honolulu.
