SCHEME
TO ADVERTISE
ISLANDS

The penny postal card, one of the
most efficient means OF communica-
ton afforded by Uncle Sam, will
within very short time figure in
ore OF the most unique schemes for
advertising the Hawaiian Islands ever
attempted by the local promotion
committee. At meeting of that
body yesterday afternoon Secretary
Wood suggested plans for a post
card campaign among bank cashiers
and gas and electric plant managers
throughout the United States, where
by five thousand cards will be sent
to the former and like number TO
the latter
Each card will have return card
attached, the committees request
reading as follows:
"Will you not kindly favor US on
the return postal card with the names
and addresses of ten or more persons
residing in your vicinity who are
financially able to travel and whom
you think may be induced to visit
the Paradise of the Pacific. Immedi-
ately upon receipt Of their names and
addresses we will mail TO each per-
son. without cost. one of our latest
folders descriptive of Hawaii which
Mark Twain so we'll described as be-
ing the loyeliest fleet OF islands that
lies anchored in any ocean. The
time to visit Hawaii is the time that
best suits the travellers convenience.
1t Is always pleasant here"
Bids were opened at the meeting
for the printing of three-color stick
ers. to be used on the trunks and
suitcases Of outgoing tourists, in lots
OF 5000 and 10000. The contract was
awarded the Star.Bulletin, it being
the lowest bidder. The stickers were
designed by the Star-Bulletin artist
and in two sizes, the smaller for suit
cases and the larger for trunks. The
promotion committee is not mention
ed on the labels, the word Hawaii
and the phrase. Paradise Of the Pa
cific" being prominent throughout.
The committee was notified that its
branch information bureau now la
Gated at the Alakea wharf, would
have to vacate on account of the
fact that the harbor commissioners
wish to take over the room for their
own use. The committees signs at
the wharf are now being rearranged
to direct tourists to the promotion
committee rooms on Bishop street.
