tedious trip and made itself exceed
ingly popular down in the Colonies
When last heard of the Hupmobile
was on the way to the Orient, having
toured the Colonies very extensively
and made many sales.
The Kauai Garage purchased a
Maxwell runabout and a ive-passen-
ger touring car from The Won Hamm-
Young Company for use on the Gar
den Island.
Mr.. h. h. Paxton purchased one
of the handsome Pope-Hartford five
passenger touring cars which The
Won Hamm-Young Company recently
imported. The Popes are making
themselves very attractive to the pros
pective buyer owing to the enormous
power and speed which this years
cars are showing. The Popes in Ho-
nolulu are showing wonderfully long
life and every one which has been
imported to this country is still in
commission and doing good work.
Mr.. Frank Coombs purchased
five-passenger touring car from The
Won Hamm-Young Company for his
personal use. Mr.. Coombs is a new
conner in Honolulu and considers this
city one of the most ideal spots for
automobile which he has ever seen.
The three-ton Packard truck which
was recently ordered by The Won
Hamm-Young Company for a demon
strator was purchased this week by
Mr.. P. M. Pond, which he is to use
for hauling bedding from Waialua to
Leilehua on a government contract
The Won Hamm-Young Company Or
dered this car merely as a demon
|, traitor but Mr.. Pond induced them to
+ let him have this car as he needs it
so badly and will put it into commits
sion the day it arrives. Mr.. Pond
has previously been working on a
contract in this same vicinity doing
Giles, but it is such a climb over such
a long hill that it uses the horses
up very rapidly and Mr.. Pond con.
l siders that he is going to save a good
deal of money by putting the Pack
ard truck into operation Immediately
This will be the first Packard truck
and it will certainly make the popu
lation sit up and take notice.
+ Packard trucks are being used very
= extensively in 122 lines of trade al
t ready and in 1862 cities. This is the
most extensive truck business O
/ which any manufacturer can truth
S fully boast
n The Packard trucks are being useC

are proving themselves not only sue

D of business which are most adapta

great success of the Merchants Ice
Company of San Francisco, who use
Packard trucks exclusively, is a grea

Company always start their three-tor
of ice, and not having experienced
any trouble at all still follow this
: practice.
The sale of fourteen cars in on
week by The Won Hamm-Young Com
Z pany is certainly quite feat, but
not without it's trials and tribulations
! In selling cars in Honolulu one has
= to consider that great many of thu
sales depend upon the taking bacl
: of secondhand cars at a good-sizet
- allowance and the reselling of thes,
, cars. The building up of The vol
Hamm-Young Company's business ha,
been a case of the survival of tn
fittest and the making good on guar
antees and verbal agreements.
{ The tremendous efforts which hav,

than by the experience which tn
