system Is of great value and that their
experience teaches them that without
It many elements OF business would be
retarded
Several men engaged in business or
connected with large firms in Honolu-
each expressed himself as being per-
lu were interviewed yesterday and
fectly satisfied with the system-that
the service had been ms fair and con-
slant as weather conditions would per-
nit, and summing It all up they could
MT see how they could get along with
out it.
President Wight of the Wilder
Steamship Company says that during
the last six months the messages of
his company have been promptly
handled and the service has given per-
feet satisfaction.
James Gordon Spencer of the Pacific
Hardware Company said that although
his firm had no occasion for using the
system to IA large extent, they had
found 1t most convenient, whenever
an occasion demanded an early re-
Spouse from n customer on another is
land, or where customer had imper-
alive need of a shipment to be sent out
on certain steamer. Whenever his
firm had found it neces airy to use
the wireless system, 1t had given sat
isfaction.
Mr.. Lantz, of f. A. Schaefer & Co.,
said that the system was of great val
Tie to his firm. For double rush busi-
ness" the use of the wireless just
struck their requirements. He express
ed great satisfaction with the personal
attention which Mr.. and Mrs. Cross
paid to all messages coming and going.
1--WE have no fault to find with the
wireless whatsoever" said Mr.. Lantz.
w. A. Bowen of Castle & Cooke had
only words of praise for the service.
I'VE use the wireless system great
deal" he said. ii think 1t has great
value to the mercantile community.
will tell you something in point with
which l am familiar. l had sent up
some estimates to one of our planta-
tions regarding taxes. The directors
here thought that my way of doing this
was hardly In line with their own ideas,
so | sent u wireless message to the
addressee to pay no attention what
ever to the suggestions / had made
and sent by mail. That message ar
rived there before the steamer, the
statement of accounts was sent back
here on the saturday steamer, and the
matter was then Strengthened out In
accordance with the de Tres of the d-
rectors. i will say that by having the
wireless system here, getting my mes
sage through so promptly saved us a
confusion of figures.
our Mr.. Petrie has had occasion to
use the wireless great deal and | be-
lieve he finds it quite satisfactory.
"On another occasion / made up a
statement and sent 1t to another Is
land correspondent of ours. 1t related
to paying income taxes to the assessor
at that locality. 1 learned later that
the Tax Assessor here had given or
ders to his deputies on the other is
lands not to collect income taxes there
on these very accounts. The manager
of the plantation was here and he was
afraid the bookkeeper would be con-
fused and / sent a wireless message
the order made I'm the
latter. The letter / received back To-
day.
Il think the wireless a great saving
in time, and frequently in money. or
course we hear at times that the sys-
TEN has broken down, but we hear of
that at times In connection with cables
and telegraphs. Take our telephone
system here for instance. At times it
Is annoying, 20 annoying at times that
we rail at it. But would We give It
up just for that? No. When the wire
less Is working it Il boon and a help
to us. We should not give the system
an everlasting black-eye. just because
1t gets out Of order sometimes"
Mr.. Petrie OF Castle q Cooke said
that the system had given perfect sat
isfactiuu. He knew that the service
was likely 10 get out OF gear as did
other forms Of electric communication,
but In the main the company had not
been greatly annoyed by these break
ages He cited the case Of letters
which went to Mahukona from the Of
fiea Of Castle A. Cooke, There Was but
one mail a week 10 that point In
The meantime many matters came up
which made II imperative "a get Into
communication win hahukona and
nearby places ana the wireless tele-
graph WAS then used 10 advantage
We ma the system ~ great value
