And so the news spreads and spreads.
Housekeepers all around are talking of
the fine quality of goods bought at our
Grocery Department AS the news
spreads, so our groceries spread all
over the city, from Waikiki to Palama;
from the wharf to way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that is: that the quality of
goods must be right-not only that,
but the prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in the right
condition
Everyone knows of the American
Biscuit Company and the class Of goods
they make. The following are a few
of the many styles of crackers that
we carry: Graham Wafer, Honey, Pop
ular, Oyster, Cheese, Noah's Ark Ami
mails (for the little ones), Pretzels,
Butter, Snowflake, Milk, Wine, Water,
Gluten Wafer, Ginger Cakes, Ginger
Nuts, Mic Macs, Saloon Pilot, and Pilot
Bread.

CANNED FRUITS.

In buying these goods you cannot
be too careful; many people have ex-
perienced rather disastrous results from
buying cheap trash, put up in tin. We
can vouch for the brands we carry. In
the Cooking Fruits, we have full as
sortment in gallon cans. Very eConO-
mical when larger amount is requir-
ed. The Table Fruits have the best
known brands in the market, put up
in two and a half pound tins, and a
smaller size known as the lunch tins
for campers and picnicers.

This is one of the few things that
does not require much mention. Suffice
it to say that we have an ample supply
of Dry GRADUATED, Cube, Powdered,
