Honolulu, August 18th, 1907
Chairman and Members, Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee.
Gentlemen: BY the Alameda, sailing
! yesterday, Mr.. Jared G. Smith, Special
Agent in charge of the local Agricu-
tural Experiment Station, forwarded
another large consignment of island
fruits to Mr. Higgins at San Francisco
to be taken by him to Eeastern points.
Included in this consignment were be-
tween 60 and 20 crates of the very best
Wahiawa Pineapples, which had been
carefully selected and expressly pack
ed under the personal supervision of
Mr. Smith. This particular shipment
of fruit having been provided by the
Hawaii Promotion Committee for free
distribution in Chicago, the great CEN
! trail market of the United States. We
have made arrangements by letter
whereby members of the Foreign
Trades Committee of the Chicago Com.
mercial Association, will meet Mr..
Higgins upon the arrival of his train
and give him all the assistance possible
in bringing this experimental ship
ment to the attention of the business
men of Chicago.
BY previous mail we forwarded a
number of photographs of Island
fruits, together with interesting data,
which will be handed to the leading
Chicago Dailies upon Mr.. higgins ar
rival. We have also sent on large
number of our general folders for dis
tribution by Mr.. Higgins and the live
Chicago business men, who will be de
| legated to assist him, so that we may
expect a large amount of the most
valuable advertising from this special
effort.
In order to still further advertise Ha-
wall and its Pineapple industry we
have secured some interesting photo
graphs of different pineapple plania-
tions showing large acreage of the fruit
about ready for cutting, which we are
sending to the secretaries of different
county agricultural fairs, which are
planned to be held throughout the
middle west during the month of Sep
TENDER. We also, of course, forward
ed quite full information as to this
industry and have reason to believe
that the photographs will be seen by
many thousands of people and that
different papers published where the
fairs are held will make more or less
mention of Hawaii at the time
A short time since we wrote to Mr.
Lafayette Young, publisher of the Des
Moines Capital, stating in the letter
that the largest number of visitors to
Hawaii from any one state east of the
Rockies came from Iowa A letter
from the city editor of this paper, dat
ed August 3rd, states that he had the
pleasure of writing up a story based
on this information, which was not
only published n his paper but is now
going the rounds of the press through
out the entire state.
A letter from the advertising agent of
the Canadian Pacific Railway states
that the photographs we sent them
will be used to large extent in their
fall campaign for business to Hawai-.
A letter from W. G. Person the pub
Usher, asks for unmounted photographs
of some of the pictures taken during
our last floral parade, which he will
frame at his own expense for hanging
oil the walls of the Long Island Auto
mobile Club House. Mr.. Pierson also
offers to read a paper on automobiline
in Hawaii before the members of his
club, which have no doubt some mem
Der of the automobile club of Hawaii
! will gladly furnish.
Learning a short time since that At
lantic City, N. j., was making plans fol
an automobile parade, we forwarded q
number of our photographs, which
were framed and placed on exhibition
in the Bureau of Publicity there anG
by the Manchuria's mail we received
a copy of the last issue of the leading
Atlantic City Daily which gave up hall
a page to our floral parade reproducing
three of the photographs This is the
height of the season at that great re-
sort city during which period the daily
influx of visitors is SAID to exceed
100000 so we should have received
considerable good neutrality-suspicious.
