Miss WhitloCk. have plan for fur
thering work along these lines which
will endeavor TO formulate and submit
at future meeting of the commit
tee.
Upon my arrival in San Francisco |
called at the rooms of the California
Promotion Committee and was assur.
utive officer. with whom | have had
most pleasant relations for some time
past. that the California Promotion
Committee would be very glad to co.
operate with the Hawaii Promotion
Committee In every way possible.
Their rooms at 20 New Montgomery
street are visited daily by great many
travellers and could be used to advan.
tage by us. As you are aware the
ticket office of the Southern Pacific
Railway In the Grand Hotel, corner Of
Market and New Montgomery streets,
is constantly thronged by the travelling
public. The quarters are now being
added to and improved and a much
larger space allotted to the information
bureau than at present occupied. BE.
lieving that our folders, though I'M
usually attractive. would be lost IL
placed in the racks with hundreds of
others, | secured promise from the
chief of the bureau, Mr.. Arthur X.
James, that we should have special
rack space of about two by three feet,
in which a suitable sign could be paint.
ed calling attention to the attractions
of the Islands. the folders being placed
below the same thus making II posi-.
BILE for every person approaching the
Information Bureau to have their at.
tention attracted to Hawaii. The chief
of the bureau also expressed willing.
ness to give us wall space for enlarged
photographs, paintings, etc.
The State Board of Trade of Califor.
MIA is also willing to allot us exhibit
space for our advertising matter. The
St Francis Hotel has its information
bureau in which Hawaii literature oC.
cupies a prominent place. The Palace
Hotel has no information bureau but

quainted with the attractions Of Ha
wall, his knowledge and friendship
will prove of great assistance In turn.
ing the attention of travellers this way.
In my opinion II Is only a matter of
a very short time when all the leading
hotels throughout the Pacific coast will
realize the desirability of including Ha.
wall as an additional attraction to the
traveller who is visiting the Pacific
coast. They will then urge their pat.
rons to make the trip. largely of course
from selfish motives, hoping thereby to
again have thu pleasure of welcoming
them upon their return from this de-
lightful voyage across the Pacific.
All the railroad lines and steamship
lines centerinS in San Francisco eau
be depended upon to materially helr
in advertising Hawaii. Your Commit
tee has been in constant Communica
| ton with them, they already know and
appreciate the value of your work.
In addition to circulating folder:
throughout the territory covered by ni'
representatives, Mr.. Dunan, G.. p. a
of the Pacific Coast S. s. Co., promiseC
me that he would have included in al
folders issued by his company in thu
future a paragraph devoted to the Is
lands urging travellers to visit Hawai-
after doing the Pacific Coast. And II
