1t doesn't need any stretching OF
the imagination TO say that Honolulu
merchants are doing from twenty to
fifty per cent bigger business this
Christmas season than last, in some
cases even more" said Emil A.
Berndt, manager Of W. w. Dimond &
Co, Ltd, today. Why, just q look
tup and down the streets will show the
volume of business, for the shoppers
are out in force. -.
This has been a great year so far
and we should be truly thankful for all
the good enjoyed. Business has been
on the jump all the year, and is show
ing up in great volume as we near the
end OF the period. Honolulu has been
so prosperous, rot only this year, but
for the past five or more, that We
hardly know what moderation means.
Where is there in the world a more
selfsatisfied community than ours,
(which, in itself, reflects prosperity?
AS the great gift season APP
IprOaGhes We are overcome by the
spirit of good cheer which, when back
ed up by, such prosperity as We have
enjoyed in Honolulu, spells peace. joy,
health aud happiness to all. = :.s-
'Dimond & Co. has participated in
the community prosperity and feeling
certain that the buying public will at
this great gift time bestow its patron
age as literally upon us as in the past,
we can bespeak- an unprecedented
holiday season. We have prepared for
this and shall not be sorry for having
anticipated it. Our goods We're wise
lily selected and are here in plenty of
time, giving every one the opportunity
to buy early, which insures satisfac-
tion. | need not say that, we bought
to advantage, as under our system of
buying We cannot go wrong very
much. Dimond & Co. is affiliated with
eleven other similar houses and with
these it comes under the protection of
the Dohrmann Commercial Company,
the syndicate's buying center. The
Dohrmann Commercial Company has
it's force of buyers out all the year to
protect the affiliated stores on all that
is good and new. Offices are main
tanned in every large manufacturing
center throughout the world. making
possible the best and biggest selection
at the greatest advantage.
Mote how Honolulu is growing. BY
referring to the statistics that show
the number of sales handled we can
very conclusiyely show that the popu-
lation has materially increased. Our
records show at least a 20 per cent in
crease in number of sales and rela-
tive increase in the volume One need
only look sup and down the street to-
note the hustle and hustle. This fea-4
ture, together with the general pros
perity, is making Honolulu an up-to-
date and lively place. !
III we may we would like to take.
this means of thanking the general
puEBc through your columns for the
consideration we have enjoyed at
their hands and give them the assur-
ance that we have done our utmost
in assisting to make the present holt
lay season the happiest yet.
