the secretary. says: 1--WE have constant
use for small bills; los would be good.
but the fives are better in any bust
ness house
E. w Jordan: Elves and tens
| would suit us-larger denominations
good for wholesale men"
James Steiner: when n lady hands
me so note TO take out a dollar pur-
chase. | have to give her the change in
silver. Ladies' purses are not large
enough for silver. The Government
had better issue the small notes first"
Captain Camara, of a. Fernandez
& Co, spirit merchants: Haven't
given much thought to it-been think
ing about the military. If the Govern
ment has So certificates they had bet
ter be issued"
Tracy, the haberdasher: 81 have to
carry $500 or $400 in silver in my safe
so as to use it for change. We want
s. certificates as soon as possible; let
the larger denominations wait"
Castle & Cooke: ]. A. Gilman, when
asked an opinion, hesitated and then
said insurance rates were about the
same. Catching his breath, he remem-
bered that So would be good thing"
Hugh Mcintyre, the grocer, was in
favor of $5 and $40 without delay. cit
don't make much difference TO me. but
it does to the customers. If a lady
comes in with so and wants a package
of Shilling's Best, must give her sill
yer change. The tea would taste bet
ter if I could hand her a $5 certificate
instead of so much COIN
Levers e. Cooke. w. A. Love: "The
scarcity of change is a drawback TO tho
retail merchant. We sometimes give
gold in making change for tens or
twenties, but not often, because ii is a
losS''
E. o. Hall & Son, Eddie Mossman:
''The sooner the Government issues S.
certificates the sooner we will be
pleased. So will our customers; $10e
notes will not be much of a convent
ence"
Pacific Hardware Company: I'VE
want the smaller denominations" said
James G.. Spencer. "If the Govern
ment knew the scarcity of small
change there would be no delay in is
suing the small bills
Ed McInerny: II favored an issue of
S. certificates when / was clerk in
the Foreign Office, and ] read in the
Advertiser the other day that they had
been received. The only thing left for
the Finance Office to do is to issue
them: never mind the large denomina-
tions.''
Will McInerny, in the shoe depart
ment, said: by all means, give us the
small notes. We have a hard time
making change"
Hebron Drug Company: Elves, only
fives, and the sooner the better What's
the use of delaying matters six
months
John Mott: "We have one customer
with SO to 20 with $50 notes. Why not
issue the smaller notes first?"
Wall. Nichols & Co.: Smaller notes
preferable by all means"
w. w Dimond: 1--WE cannot afford
to give IS pieces to every one in
change; the rate of exchange in silver
is too high to permit it, but we do it
for ladies who decline silver or pen
MES The average merchant wants
small notes"
Hopp & CO.. I'VE would prefer s.
and $40 notes to larger denominations
when it comes to making change. The
convenience would be great"
Metropolitan Meat Company, George
Mcleod, the cashier said: '"That pile
of silver represents Mr.. Walters col
lections at the slaughter house this
afternoon. 1t takes valise to carry
it. If we had So notes in circulation he
could carry it in his vest pocket"
If the wishes of the retail merchants
in Honolulu are to be respected, the s.
certificates will be put in circulation in
advance of the larger ones. Even the
banks will welcome the innovation, for
there is scarcely a night that they do
not close with a scarcity of small notes
among the cash.
