TO BOOM
SEATTLE
Puget Sound Port
Anxious TO Get
Our Trade.


Globe Navigation Company, are max
/ ing strenuous efforts to capture large
share OF the Honolulu trade. The
steamer Tampico brought a passenger
along yesterday who represents a large
number of Seattle firms and he will
spend a few days here explaining the
| advantages that Seattle can offer TO
Hawaii as a selling and purchasing
port. Among the firms he represents
are: Golden Northwest Fruit and Veg
etable Canning Company, e. c. Klyce
q Co, wholesale fruit, vegetable and
produce merchants: Carstens Brothers.
butchers and packers; John +. Adams
& Co., merchandise brokers'; and sew
eral others. The representative is ii.
Jacobs Shellmount, of Seattle.
Mr.. Shellmount said last evening:
Seattle is unquestionably a good place
for Hawaiian producers to market their
fruit. 1t can be freighted to that port
cheaper and ON arrival brings Il better
price than the same product would at
San Francisco Seattle is booming now
and can use a large amount of your
fruit. You can market your pineapples
there to advantage. When l left Seat
tie they were selling at 81 a dozen, and
there We're but a few to be obtained
even at that price. Large punches of
| bananas were selling as high as $3.50.
| These can be shipped there to advan-
tage and | expect to take a thousand
punches back with me on the Tampico.
I'VE have large number of articles
which should be on your market We
grow as fine potatoes as can be round
anywhere and of course we can under
sell the other fellow. We can sell you
lard a couple of cents pound cheaper
than you can buy the same article in
San Francisco. And we can do the
same with reference to scores of other
things. Seattle people already know
the character of fruit you send US and
like it and as soon as you thoroughly
know the class of products which we
can send you in return | think that the
Hawaiian Islands will purchase great
deal from Seattle"
