Break The Sales Record

this week broke all previous records
ever made in the Hawaiian Islands by
making fourteen sales, five of which
were Gadillacs) which is a very won
derful feat considering the size of
the field and the number of machines
now in use. Included in these sales
are four doctors, one general contrac-
tor, one electrical contractor, one
mechanic, one boolkeeper and five
managers. The various makes of
cars were Packards, Cadillacs, Over
lands, Hupmobles, MaXwells, Bucks
and Pope Hartfords. Five out of
this list were the world-famous Cadii-
lac cars, which are becoming so very
popular. The Honor Roll this weeks
consists of DR.. }. II. Raymond, DR..

The doctors in Honolulu are GER
tainly keeping up with the advance
ment of science in regard to their
automobiles just the same as they are
in their own profession. They are
all gradually changing their old ma
chimes for new ones, which, like the
Cadillac cars, are ready to go at
moments notice and are not constant
ly in the repair shop.
The popular demand for an automo-
bile today is for one that has the
least troubles, whether trivial or
serious, and one that is in service
at all times. Carefully compiled
statistics from all over the United
States show that the Cadillac re-
uuires less attention and is in the
repairshop the least of all other
makes in it's class. These conditions
exist in the Hawaiian Islands just the
same as on the mainland. No surer
proof of this statement could be had
than a trip occasionally through the
repairshops in this city.
The sales this week of The Won
Hamm-Young Company of new and
high-class cars to four doctors, two
of which were Cadillacs, is a sure
sign of the times The medical pro
fession, which is today considered the
farthest advanced of all sciences, is
necessarily composed of men of high
class judgment, and prospective buy
ers do we'll in watching these select
machines for their professional use
which they consider the most adapt
able and reliable. The Medical News
edits an automobile number eacf
year, one of which has recently beer
published which contains great dea
of valuable information and data.
The two doctors who purchased Cad
illacs this week from The Won Hamm
Young Company were DR.. ]. H. Ray
mond and DR.. ]. S. B. Pratt, who
have watched very carefully the re
liability of these popular cars since
1909. The automobile roster will show
more Cadillacs in use today than any
other car of it's class, and the repair
shop will show fewer evidences Of
having been visited by the Cadillac
than any other make of car in its
class.
