The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1909-02-02

The Gamers reason, and rightly so,
that the pines will best advertise them
selves and that an announced reduction
now, at the commencement of the ex-
tensive advertising campaign, will in
duce grocers to stock up and be in
readiness to meet the demand that the
magazine advertising is practically GER
tain to create. AT present the market
is sluggish, but it is too early to ex-
pect results from one months adver-
Using. The Gamers take n reasonable
view of the situation and do not ex-
peet wonders from the first printer g
ink bought, realizing that persistence
is required for the beginning. This is
the experience of all advertisers.
The first results of the advertising
are manifesting themselves, neverthe-
less, a message from the agent in New
York, received by the association here,
stating that grocers and commission
dealers have made so many applica-
tions for the pamphlet issued by the
/ association that the first edition of six
hundred thousand has already been ex-
hausted. A duplicate order will be
given.
| The crop prospects are very bright
at present, the estimated crop being
far in excess of the estimated demand
The latter is liable to expansion
within few months, however

stocks from the Gamers, the price OF
