In the drug trade of Hawaii there IS
perhaps 10 firm better known than
that whose name heads this article
Benson. Smith q Co were established
in Honolulu in 1888 and incorporated as
q joint stock company with limited LA
bility in January 1898. The corporation
carries on the business of wholesale
and retail druggists in the premises at
the corner of Fort and Hotel streets,
where they occupy two-Story build
ing, the re tail department being on the
ground floor and the wholesale up
stairs While large warehouse at the
back contains the surplus stock. With
III the past year, owing to the growth
of their business, ii was found neceS-
SS,ry to annex the rooms formerly oc-
cupied by DR.. j. NJ. Whitney, thus ma

wholesale branch. The personnel of
the company consists of Geo. w.
Smith, President and Manager; j. H.
Fisher, Vice-Presdent: j. A Kennedy,
Secretary, and S. l.. Rumsey, Treas
uIer.
The retail department has two en-
frances, one on Fort street the other
on Hotel street and is thoroughly
equipped with all modern cOnveniences
for the carrying on of an extensive
drug trade. In common with all first
class drug stores, there is an excellent
soda fountain at which all the newest

within reach of thousands of people
who now go there to enjoy the lovely

1t was a company of wise men who
purchased the PuupueO tract, foreSee-
ing the demand for residence sites
there when the district should be
brought within easy reach of the bus
iress section and the public permitted

the electric line would run through the

The area suitable for residence prop

distance of business is so very limited
in Honolulu that should the city con-
tinue its present rate of growth it will
ali be taken up in a very short time.
Many handsome homes have already
been erected on property adjoining the
PuupueO tract and it is destined to be
one of the best neighborhoods in the
city.
There will be a rush for locations
with the first warm weather and wise
ores will take time by the forelock and
make their selections before the cho:c-
est view sites are all taken. Many of
the lots have an unsurpassed ocean
view, while others have the most beau
tlful views of mountain and valley to
be found in the suburbs of Honolulu.

Fifty Dollars to Sit Down.

Carmel, Ind, Dec 15.-Mr. Joseph l..
Duffey relates an experience thar has
aroused considerable interest in this
locality. 1t is best given in his own
words:
when l was working in the fields, >
says Mr.. Duffey, Il would be ready TO
quit, but | could not get to the house
l was so weak. 1t was worth fifty
dollars to get to sit down.
Il had no strength and person
without strength is not much use.
But bless the Lord took four boxes
of nodd's Kidney Pills and they gave
me health, strength and appetite.
Il might say l am cure', but | viii
keep on taking Dodds Kidney pills,
Yes, I'll get them if it takes the last
thing OF the farm"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have effected
quite number of other cures here and
it seems safe to say they are an efiec'
tive and permanent cure for all dis
eases arising from the Kidneys.
