the more delicious beverage besides
being so healthful.
One of the largest manufacturers Of
grape juice has an elaborate booth on
the Boardwalk, which they maintain
as an advertisement at an expense of
several thousand dollars per year. A
close watch of their place convinced
us that, though their location was the
best as far as the summer crowd was
concerned we sold fully ten drinks of
pineapple Juice to their one of grape
Juice.
Our work at Atlantic City has un-
questionably established the fact that
there is going to be practically an I'M
| limited demand for pure pineapple
| juice. What we have accomplished in
this respect is worth more to Hawaii
than the entire cost of the exhibit, for
] firmly believe that, within the next
five years, we will be sending out
more pineapple Juice than canned
pineapple by very large valuation.
Thus far our expenditures amount
to about as follows:
Rent flor year,, $4,000; transporta-
ton, Sl4O0; music. $1,000; wages,
$500; expense (generaD, $1,000;
freight, $1,000; merchandise (exclus-
i've of pineapple and pineapple pro-
Ducts, $1,000; Asbury Park. $1,000;
fixtures. $1,000; electric lights and
signs, 5000.
Our receipts from sales from May
10 to August Z, date of last report, be-
ing as follows:
Curios. $l342.77; pineapple: cans
S2GO.Oj, plates s493.55; Juice; bottles
s2O9,3O, glasses S7Ol.35; total. S3OO7. O2,
or an average of s37 per day
At the close of the rush season Oct
ober |, | will have an account OF stock
taken and will then be able to submit
a statement, which will permit you to
determine as to the advisability of
| carrying on the work another year
from March 1, 1911, when our present
lease expires.
boardwalk Finances.
We owe for merchandise purchased
In Honolulu and to Mr.. BONNIE about
$1,000 all told. being indebted as well
to the Promotion Committee for adj
vances of about $liO0. This can not
be paid from our funds NJ Atlantic
City, as we shall need all available
there on September II to pay for re-
turn fares of the singing boys, though
II is Just possible that this expense
may be avoided, as Mr.. Childs will
close up ut Asbury Park the second
week in September. and a plan is now
on foot for Mr., Childs to cooperate
with one of the Southern Pacific lee
turers now in the East. placing before
the public an illustrated talk on trans
Pacific travel and using our boys as
one of the attractions When in San
Francisco, on my way home, I placed
this matter before Mr. James Hors-
burgh, general passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, and Mr.. A. G. ID.
kerrell, general passenger agent Of
the Pacific Mall Steamship Company.
Their interest was aroused and am
hoping to hear by an early mail that
these transportation companies have
entered in an arrangement with Mr..
Chllds for his services and the sery-
ices OF the singing boys, along the
lines specified
The Singing Tnhu.
Upon getting things well started N
