The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe: nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house. and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs In chandeliers

Wall Paper
Confessions:

That satisfied feeling that
goes with a clean, newly
papered house, is worth
twice its cost. We have re-
moved the principal obsta-
Gle which stands between
you and New Wall Paper by
cutting the price down to n
minimum. This is an extra
ordinary confession on our
part. The quality of our
stock is unequalled--in va
riety it is matchless.

Saturday evening, January 20,
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Islands on bicycles. The
list was made up of some of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them a '97 Overland Special, which is
handled here by the HONOLULU b.

the Only Wheel in the Lot which
made the round trip without trouble
of any kind. OVERLANDS are the
kind Of wheels that take you Away
from home and Bring You Back Again.
By the last Australia we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without exception
the most beautiful models, and the
highest grade wheels ever shown here

shall sell them-$65. We defy all COM
