PACKARD truck grows FAST
IN FAVOR ALL OVER ISLANDS
Won Hamnl- Young Company Has Busy Week - HonoIIan
Brings Packard-CadiIaCS, 0verands and Bucks Are
FaVorteS.

The last week has been another
busy one with the Won Hamm-Young
Company in the automobile sales and
repair departments.
The S. 5. Honolulan brought a
Packard truck which mad been Cs.
pecially ordered by the Kilauea Vol.
CanO House Company, and this car
was shipped on the Claudiue to Hilo
this week. II will he equipped with
a special body which has been built
on the Islands for carrying passCn
gers and freight
The Kilauea Volcano House Com
pany Is one of the first concerns in
these Islands to use the Packard
truck in this freight and passenger
service. 1t is their intention to use
same to transfer passengers from the
Hilo Railway Company's terminus al
Glenwood to the Volcano House ant
to the Volcano crater.
A duplicate of this truck is now OF
the way from the factory for the SAME
people, and should be here within the
Text two or three weeks. This Other
car will be used together with the one
which was shipped w there this week
The Packard truck Is being used oN
tensively on the mainland. and it Is
recognized as the last word in ell
cheney of automobile trucks. The
Packard motor trucks are used in
154 lines of trade and in 2l3 cities
For innumerable kinds Of hauling
they are better than horses by reason
of increasing efficiency, while in many
cases they have actually saved q
great amount of money. In long
hauls, especially, they render service
which is impossible by horses and
many users have found them to be
even more efficient and economical
than railway service in suburban anC
interurban traffic.
The much talked Of Cadillacs found
several more enthusiastic purchasers
this week. A fine little runabout was
delivered to the Waialua Agriculture
Company, and another splendid 5.pas

Hour.
The hour of the parade was also
changed, the director deciding, after
full consideration, for y. m. instead
of 10 a. IN. As II happened, the
change was an exceedingly happy
one. Owing to the severe rains of
the two previous days, many decorated
automobiles could not have been fin.
ished in time fer a ten O'Clock start.
Even as II was, the threatening
weather cut down our entry list OF
decorated automobiles perhaps 90 per
cent. However, several owners on
seeing the morning promising, decor
ated cars and entered. The question
of the hour Is one that will probably
come up each year. Under ordinary
circumstances, the morning Is prefer.
able in case the start is made prompt
ly on time. so that the parade may he
ended and the awards complete at
noon or very shortly thereafter. But
II must be remembered that in other
years comparatively few spectators
remained after noon to see the judg'
ing and award of prizes.
Another feature is that If the Battle
of Flowers is to be continued, as il
certainly should be, the time from II
a. M. to noon Is not long enough. A
start at 2 o'clock. all things consid
cred, gives consideration to the great
est number Of people.

second, sufficient force of energy for
extreme conditions.
