winch the facts are set forth.
Bound IN neat blue clotn cover
lettered in black, the volume contains
ol2 pages of matter, showing an In
crease over last year of 135 pages
Much of the space In the front part
of the book is devoted 10 statistics
dealing with distances to neighboring
Islands, public institutions, public OIL
cials, etc, etc. Throughout the en-
tire work local advertisers are we'll
represented, and the artistic manner
in which the advertisements are served
speaks volumes for the class or work
turned out by the Gazette Company.
The number of directories printer
| largely exceeds that of any previous
year, yet the supply will fall far short
of the demand. Mr.. Sanderson re-
ceived orders from New York City by
the last mail instructing him to ship
thirteen copies of the directory to that
city at once, and by the next steamer
n number will be forwarded to SAN
Francisco and California cities. The
order from far-away New York shows
that an interest Is felt there In Homo
lulu and the Islands. and the directory
will prove OF great value to business
men.
Orders have been received FOR over
500 copies of the directory. and new
orders are being entered daily. 1t was
expected that the work would be conf
pleted last December, but serious de-
lay was occasioned by waiting for
completion OF the house Numbering.
The amount of work required 10 COM
pile an accurate directory In any city
is enormous. and long after the in
formation of gathering the names and
addresses is competed the work of ar
ranging them in alphabetical order is;
of the most arduous kind
AS is usual in all city directories.
some interesting and curious statistics
may be obtained from the pages by IA
careful observer. Names with only ono
letter appear, while names that con-
tain letters extending the full width
of the page and nearly unpronounce-
able are in evidence.
To the name of Smith Is credited the
honor of appearing the greater number
of times, while the names of Johnson
and Jones make good seconds. Nearly
every nationality in the world Is rep
resented within the pages. while the
occupations noted are many and va
ried. Reading matter Is furnished to-
the residents of Honolulu through the
medium Of 3s publications.. while CT
physicians and 81 lawyers are also
noted.
A summary OF the business interests
shows that within the boundaries Of
this City there are 5 soda water man
ufacturers. 81 representatives of plant
ers and plantations, SO tailoring firms.
5 sndertakers, "A hotels, hat manu-
facturerS, cab companies, 2 hair
dressers, t6i grocery stores. 3S private
lodging houses, rs dressmakcrs, 9 dai--
ries, 10 debt-collecting agencies, g.
contracting carpenters, II barber
shops, 81 private schools, &C restau-
rants Al real estate firms. AZ poi man
ufacturers, Is plumbing firms. q pro-
fessional nurses, music teachers, Is
photographers. IL meat markets, IL
livery stables. rs saloons So laundrieS,
s investment companies, l3 profession
al interpreters, banks and bands.
From the above summary II will ap-
pear that there is very little difference
i'm the occupation Of the inhabitants OF
land. and IT Is difficult to think of any
form of business that is nor repre-
scented.
