Promotion Committee, on being asked
for the latest information of the bu-
reau's work pointed to a busy staff of
young lady assistants putting up ad-
yertising matter for the mail going out
next Monday.
This output consists of about $500
copies OF the Pioneer Advertising Co.'S
handbook Hawaii" Ten mail bags
have been furnished by the postoffice
for dispatching the lot. There are
separate bags for great districts, such
as England, New York, Pennsylvania,
California, etc.
Mr.. Boyd explained that the present
distribution was designed as follow w-up
matter against addresses to which the
folder Hawaii was formerly sent
1t is expected to have other matter
to distribute Immediately after the
first of the year. The next publication
to be. issued will be a brochure writ
ten by Mrs. Emma M. Nakuina, en-
titled, Hawaii; the People and Their
Legends" As the cutting down of the
allowance from the appropriation by
20 per cent means a restriction of the
work, there will be a smaller edition
Of Mrs. Nakuina's work than was at
first contemplated.
LOT
about thousand addresses will be fol-
lowed up between now and the end of
the year. This will complete the cur
rent follow-up system, comprising
from 5000 to 1000 addresses. At the
same time there is a steady demand
at headquarters in the Alexander
Young building for the handbook, the
folder, DR.. S. E. Bishops Beauty
Spots" pamphlet and circular enclos-
ure for letters by private individuals
for mailing to friends abroad The
bureau address list for the current
campaign takes in hotels, clubs, librar-
les, schools. members of Congress and
of Parliament, and officials of the Uni
ted States and of different States of
the Union.
Letters have reached the committee,
Secretary Boyd states, indicating that.
the auxiliary work on the Pacific Coast
is progressing favorably. F. M. Jen-
ifer, the agent appointed for that dis
trict. reports having met with cordial
reception from railroad, steamer and
hotel men. He has arranged for good
office quarters in Los Angeles and
hoped to succeed in getting desk room
in Railroad Row of the Palace Ho-
tel in San Francisco The committee
believe that in Mr. Jenifer they have
found a capable man for the work on
the Coast.
Plans are laid by the committee for
the extension of the promotion cam
paign on the mainland through address
sing companies in the great centers.
Correspondence has been started with
some of these relative to the expense
of their services, so that the commit
tee may see what they can do.
The entire work is being carried on
as rapidly and as carefully as it has
ever been. Although the committee
are not receiving quite the degree of
financial support they had expected.
the work will be pressed as vigorously
as ever. They feel that the work has
lust been inaugurated. Very many
letters, personal and otherwise, are
being received by the bureau asking
for publications, which shows that the
railway companies are faithfully doing
the work of distribution of the litera-
ture sent to them.
Half dozen letters have been re-
ceived in the past week asking that
ARRANGEMENTS be made for party tours.
The writer of one of these letters.is
near relative of a very distinguished
eaneral in the United States army. If
the efforts that are oelnS nldoe prove
successful. Mr.. Boyd believes. we shall
very soon see the results. While the
outcome could not be definitely predict
ed. these inquiries showed that the
committees campaign was even now
arousing great interest.
The headquarters of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee are kept attractive
with growing plants, besides the ex-
hibits of Hawaiian natural products
and handicraft. No transient visitor
by a passing steamer should be al
lowed to depart without at least having
been invited into Honolulu's cool par
lor in Hotel street.
