ness. the representative of VIM. W.
Bierce Of New Orleans, La, steel manu-
facturer, has done a considerable
amount of tall hustling since ne has
been in this city and finds that the
prospects for placing the products Of
the industry which he represents, in
these Islands, are not only favorable
but very encouraging.
In an interview for the Advertiser
yesterday afternoon at the Hawaiian
Hotel, Davies had the following to
say:
Il am charmed with Honolulu and
would stay here longer. if there was
any possibility of the quarantine being
raised in few days. However, have
determined the prospects here. find
them favorable and will probably re-
turn to the States on the next boat to
report TO my principals.
4 represent VIM. w. Bierce. general
Company and the American Steel HOOp
Company. 1t is our intention 20 place
our products in this country at such
a reasonable rate that It will pay the
plantations and other corporations re-
quiring our material, to place their or
ders with us. 1t will hereafter be en-
tirely unnecessary for buyers to 20 to
San Francisco for their steel rails. cane
cars, locomotives, scales, etc, or TO deal
directly with the producers, for we
can place steel supplies here at a cost
less than that which would be entafled
/ by going 20 San Francisco. and at a
cost identical with that required by the
producers.
The time is ripe for such a propo-
sitiOn and we will be on the ground
| very shortly now, ready to handle the
whole OF the steel business for these
Islands. Why is it that we can place
our goods in Honolulu at the same
rates at which they are placed in San
Francisco direct from the foundries?
Because of an arrangement with the
railroads; because of an agreement be-
tween the great Northern and Southern
railroad systems of the United States.
whereby we are enabled 20 ship steel
rails and other things direct to Homo
/ lulu at the same rates as we would
ship them TO San Francisco.
You see that by this arrangement
a great deal Of time and money viii be
saved to the buyer in Hawaii: it viii
not be necessary for him TO take a
| trip tOI the Coast in order to place his
orders; he will be in that much
money as well as the time that his
| journey would occupy.
Goods ordered through ms will be
dispatched without delay 10 san Fran
cisco, where they viii be transferred
