has been frequently made in the past
have an agent there who would sell
the genuine article, one who has an
interest in, or an aloha for Hawaii
that would prevent his STOPPING to any
sharp practice in order to get rid of
his stock. When such an agency is
established the price of Hawaiian cof-

tematically introduced the demand for
1t would rapidly increase and it would
not be long before other agencies would
be established in different parts of the
state.-Herald.
