ARE EVERYWHERE

the Best Known Mayor in
the United States.
Ftom snturday Advertiser.


"When Col. Sam Parker is mayor of
Honolulu he will be The best known
mayor in the United states outside of
New York and Chicago" says Charles
A. Stanton, once of the Kaimuki Land
Company, now head of the Charles A.
Stanton g. Co. and partner in the
bond house &C NJ. L. Estefnaux & Co
of San Francisco, who arrived from the
Coast this week on a business trip.
Mr.. Stanton says that everywhere he
went ON the mainland he found friends
of the Republican candidate for the
mayoralty and he believes that by
electing Colonel Parker the people of
Honolulu will be doing the biggest bit
of promotion work they could possibly
do.
"I came to Honolulu to remain
few days looking after some business
interest and expect to return either on
the WilhelminR next week or the Mon
golia the week following" says Stan
ton. "While am here l expect to
invite Col. Sam Parker to become a
director in the California Bond and
Mortgage Company, which l am now
organizing with a paid-up capital of
$500, 900.
Wants His Good Name.
"I do not want the colonel so much
for a subscription as | do for advertis
ing purposes. During the past five
months have motored over eight thou
sand miles in California touching every
county excepting two, which were in
accessible, and everywhere have been,
and mentioned Hawaii 1 was invari-
ably asked the question:: DO you
know Col. Sam Parkeri When L said
/ did, always got welcome.
81 never knew the value of my &C.
quaintance with Colonel Parker until
1 got out and mingled with the farmers,
merchants and bankers in the interior
of California. 1t seems that the con-
tinued publicity the colonel has receiv-
ed from time to time and his own strik-
ing personality, has given him valu-
able reputation, equal to that of any
big national character. This not only
applies to California but in every other
State where Hawaii is mentioned and
i have concluded it a capital idea to
try and get the colonel to serve on
my directorate, because | am fully con-
WINGED that his good name will be a
valuable asset to the company in secur-
ing business. 1 hope he will serve re-
gardless of the election results.
The Best Known Mayor.
81 want to add that if Honolulu
elects him mayor she will have, except
ing the mayors of New York and Chi
cago, the best known mayor in the
4 United States. His election will be a
valuable asset to the Hawaiian Is
. lands.
Floating a Big Company.
"The California Bond and Mortgage
~ 81,
4 him. This company will be the largest
loan company in California specializing
in first mortgage farm loans. We ex-
pect to turn our capital about four or
4 five times year, working upon small
margin of about one and a half to two
4 per cent on long time farm loans. Civ
ing the small farmer the benefit of
! cheap money and at the same time
4 giving our stockholders about ten per
cent on their investment. We expect
to operate upon the same plan that has
4 proven to be very popular and success
4 full in Germany and France, where the
small farmer secures his money on
par with industrial and railroad corpor-
ations.
Wants Hawaiian Capital.
"We have met with great deal of
encouragement from the bankers and
prominent merchants and farmers of
California, where about seventy-five per
cent of the company's stock will be
subscribed. We will only want $685.
900 or $4,000 subscribed in Hawaii
with which we will arrange to main
tain control and give the small farmers
and others of Hawaii, who wish real
! estate loans, the full benefit of the
company's operations.
