had a letter from an old friend il
Denver by the Australia, asking me
about opportunities for going into busi-
ness here. As he is an experienced res
tarauteur, / Immediately answered his
letter. advising him 10 come on at once
and establish a good restaurant with
moderate prices. informing him that
believed he could do well here. This
was largely prompted by conyersa-
ton | heard al the club few days aga
when a small party composed OF bust
ness and professional men were dis
cussing the restaurant business in Ho-
nolulu. One prominent King street
business man said, in commenting or
the failings of certain men in this
business in Honolulu, that he believed
it was good thing for the city, as tht
failure OF those who did not conduc
their business in a way TO merit public
patronage would show some good mar
the proper method to adopt. There /
good logic in this, and it is what in
duced me to write my friends TO come
out here at once If he comes, as be
lieve he will, he will make success.
And speaking of restaurants, frien'
told me of an experience he had recent
