Prompt Payment of a Big Sum

Prompt Payment of Big Sum.
Dec. 4th, Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney a Chicago draft
for ST, S10.96, payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability Of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
forward this large sum just at this
season Of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small, is certainly a most con-
vincing evidence of the solvency of
one of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. OF the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard & Co.
entered that line, more than Is years
ago, the number that still exist can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Rouse Hazard & Co.report that their
present prospects are the brightest of
any time during all the years they
have been in business They now have
bona fide orders from gilt-edged con-
Germs for a larger number of machines
than they ever had orders for at any
one time. Their export trade has been
growing in all parts of the world, and
if any one of the several large export
deals they have in sight is closed, they
will have orders for all the wheels they
can possible turn out during the sea-
son of 1898.
The next Australia will bring us a
full line of these wheels, Sylphs and
Overland Specials. They will have
more than their share of up-to-date
features, and will make up the most
elegant line of 1898 wheels that will
be seen here this year. We shall also
receive line of TRANSACTIONS" It
will pay you to wait.

TEN TONS.
Daily Consumption Of Ice Here.
Meeting of Company.

MSClIuS Oh N-Oul pdny.
There was a we'll attended meeting
yesterday morning at the Bank of Ha-
waii of the Peoples Ice and Refrigera-
tor Company, Ltd. A quite large pro-
portion of the stock was represented.
The reports of the officers show that
the past year had been one of prosper
iity for the concern and that the future
seemed promising. All the old officers
were reelected and given a vote Of
thanks besides. J. A. McCandless is
president, j. A MagOon vice-president,
E. A Jones treasurer, A. B. Wood
secretary and Mr. Heitmann manager.
Reports showed that the consump-
ton of ice had increased very mater
tally during the past two or three
years. In 1895 the output of the COM
pany was about seven tons a day. Now
it is 10 tons for each day and there
appears to be a steady growth. The
company has lost the patronage of Ha-
waii, Maui and Kauai. The larger de-
mand is due to the increase of popula-
ton and to reduction in the price Of
ice by the company. The price was
lessened by the directors some months
ago. All the ice is made for the COM
pany by the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany, which must soon Of necessity,
increase its ice producing plant. The
stockholders voted the directors full
authority in several important matters,
such as accumulation and handling Of
reserve and management of property
and leases OF the company.

TO THE PUBLIC?

FIRST-It is never sour.
SECOND-It is uniform in quality.
THIRD-There being no fermenta-

FOURTH-It keeps fresh and sweet
much longer than any other bread.
