The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-06-03


had very busy week, having added
eight names to the Honor Roll, two
of which respectfully request that
their names be withheld from publica-
ton as they wish to give their friends
a surprise party.
The Honor Roll this weeks consists
of Mr.. NJ. e. Silva, Dr. Mitamura Mrs.
Fredrica Mcguire, Mr. o. II. Walker,
Mr.. John Todd, Trent Trust Company.
Mr.. NJ. E. Silva purchased a fore
door Hupmobile touring car to be
used in his business as a "frst-call
wagon This will be a very useful
addition to his business as it will en-
able him to do so much more work,
and also his work may be accom-
plished with that much more speed.
Mr. Silva has previously had a tour
ing car which he has used for pleas
ure purposes, and realizes that to
keep up with the times as he always
has he would be required to purchase
a "first-call" wagon of the automobile
type. The undertaking establishments
on the mainland are most all using
the motor vehicles in their business,
and as Mr.. Silva claims that his out
fit is just as up to date as any to
be found on the Coast he considers
that very shortly his entire outfit will
be motor driven vehicles, including
a very stylish motor hoarse. Mr..
Silva further states that his business
has increased so rapidly in the past
year that it would be practically i'm
possible for him to handle all his
business without the use of motor
vehicles. The cemetery at Pearl City
is a long way from Honolulu, and in
these modern times where everybody
has boone used to travelling in an
automobile the journey in a hack is
booming more tedious and the popular
demand is for automobiles in this
service.
DR.. Mitamura, after looking around
about four months and giving all the
small runabouts a thorough and care
full test, came to the conclusion that
for a small car the Hupmobile was
the most serviceable and economical
of all the cars to be seen. He placed
his order this week for an open run
about to be delivered as soon as pos
sible. DR.. Mitamura also has Cadil-
lac touring car, from which he states
he has had a most agreeable expert
ence for the past two years. He has
driven this car quite a few thousand
miles with very little expense and il
has always been in commission. The
doctor will still keep the Cadillac for
touring service.
Mrs. Fredrica Mcguire was another
purchaser of a Hupmobile, having Sc
lected fore-door touring car. Mrs.
Mcguire has learned to operate her
car already, which she mastered after
a very few lessons, and can be seen
down amongst the busy streets dodg-
ing in an out amongst the vehicles
like an old hand.
Mr.. o. H. Walker of the Coyne Fur
niture Company bought a double-rum-
BILE roadster for his personal use. Mr..
Walker considers that a little open
air exercise in the way of operating
an automobile is a very good invest
ment.
The Won Hamm-Y Young Company
sold to Mr.. John Todd of Kona a
Model 40 Overland touring car OF
the four-passenger, selective type,
4-cylinder model. The Overland seems
to be holding it's own in the sales of
medum-priced cars and seems to stay
out of the repairshop about as well
as any of the other makes, and a
great deal better than great many
of them.
The Trent Trust Company placed
an order with The Won Hamm-Young
of the 1911 model This car is to be
delivered as soon as possible. This
is the third machine that the Trent
Trust Company has owned and in
their selection of a Cadillac it may
be noted that after having watched
the success of all the different makes
of cars owned in Honolulu that this
time they have selected the car which
is best adapted to their business, AS
the newspapers all say trying to sell
real estate without the use of a Cadil-
lac is like trying to do business with
out advertising.
A Cadillac demi-tonneau and an
Overland touring car were the two
cars purchased by the patrons who
withhold their names.
