M inkier of the Interior,
Hawaiian narflware Co., L'fl
Saturday, Dec. 31, 1892.
The season of gaiety is
over, Christmas trees have
been relegated to the brush
heap and you begin to think
of the big washing that must
be done Monday. In every
family certain articles are
washed at home, some for
sanitary reasons and others
because you are in a hurry
for them. If your Japanese or
Portuguese wash lady happens
to "no feel pretty good" you
must wait until your hurry is
over; she will not rub the
pieces over the board any
faster than she pleases or as
rapidly as your needs require.
In the United States the
trouble is avoided in many
families by the use of a wash
ing machine and the demand
for them is growing daily.
Having been invented by a
man whose wife was a mem
ber of the Sorosis it is easily
understood why the contriv
ance is so simple and the
result so satisfactory. There
is absolutely no labor attached '
to it; you can sit down to
your, work, wash your clothes
with one hand and rock the
cradle with the other.
Speaking of cradles: the
washing machine is especially
adapted for families where
young children predominate.
The cost of the, machine is
about what you would pay for
a months washing; the satis
faction at having your-clothes
thoroughly and quickly washed
cannot be reckoned in dollars.
Having finished our remarks
on tne means oi securing
clean clothes let us dwell a
moment on the subject of
clean bodies and the method
of acquiring them. The drug
gists supply Pears soap and
we sell Colgate's. It is entirely
a matter of opinion as to the
superiority of either; ladies,
some of them, prefer Colgates
on account of thoj-elicious
perfumes and theStek of
alkalai used in the manufacture.
The city, sometimes, supplies
the Avater but who supplies the
best and handsomest con
tainers? The echo sends back
the same answer that it has to
the thousand queries of a
similar character as to where
good things may be procured
The Hawaiian Hardware Co.!
Among "modern improve
ments" the bath tub plays
just as important a part as
does the washing machine or
the mortgage. No dwelling
is considered complete with
out them. Notwithstanding
the depressed condition of
trade in the islands there has
been more or less boom
among the builders. ,,, But the
question which interests us
particularly is: Has due re
gard been paid to the charac
ter of the bath tubs and sinks?
If an ordinary zinc arrange
ment has been put in the loss
will be the owner's. If, on the
other hand, the builder has
his customers interest at
heart and put in a Porcelain
lined bath tub the loss is ours
because we did not have them
in stock. Today there's no
reason for loss to either of us.
The "W. H. Dimond" brought
us a supply and we have our
crockery eye on several pro
jected building operations
where these tubs, sinks and
wash stands will be placed
because the persons who will
live in the houses, the owners,
are tired of rusty bath tubs.
We can also show you for
use at home the largest
assortment of moderate priced
glass ware that has ever been
displayed in the Kingdom.
Cheap tumblers, Sauce dishes,
Oil and Vinegar bottles with
cut glass stoppers, direct
imitation of genuine cut glass,
Claret pitchers, water pitchers,
Cream jugs etc. They are
all new in design and better
than we have ever shown
before.
It would take page of this
paper to tell of half the goods
that came on the Australia
and Dimond Come and see
for yourself.
