PROMOTION
COMMITTEE
Secretary Woods Report on
the Good Work of the
Past Week.

The following is Secretary Woods
regular weekly report to the Promo
ton Committee:
Gentlemen: The first six of the
| Gartley photographs, chosen for en-
| largement, are now being framed and
will be placed on exhibition in our
rooms within the next day or so. These
pictures. 40 in.x60 in. in size, will ul-
| timately find a place on the mainland,
| in the leading hotels and railway Of
| fees and will undoubtedly prove of
| great value in calling attention to the
scenic attractions of Hawaii. 1t is de-
sirable that each picture should have
an appropriate title and the sugges-
ton has been made that the public
generally be asked to submit names
for these characteristic views of Ha-
waiian scenery. The title should be
contained in few words so as to be
painted on the frame and should also
bear the words Honolulu or Hawaii.
Each picture will be numbered and
suitable cards will be provided at the
office upon which the suggestions may
be written. Il is hoped that every
resident of Honolulu may take advan-
tage of the opportunity to see these
beautiful enlargements before they are
sent away.

in Hawaii upon his return from the

ed another success as great and last
