Heinz by a Star-Bulletin reporter at
the dock this morning, he was asked
as to the possibilities of the Hawaii
an fruits such as the mango, papata,
gllava, etc, ever being brought into
use to form an addition to the Heinz
81 varieties" In answer to this ques-

coming, he believed. when the Ha-
waiian small fruits would be utilized
more extensively by the big American
concerns which manufacture jams,
jellies and preserves. H.: HI
