Business and Bankruptcy,

IL ONoLULU IS passing through a transitional
period and IS changing its business ideals.
This Territory outside of the capital city IS
absolutely dependent on the successful continue
ton Of the sugar industry. But, while nanyswhose
all is invested in the plantations live here and the
city is hence largely dependent on their prosper
ity, very important new element has been In
jected into the business life Of Honolulu through
the rapid increase Of the military establishment
and because Of the tremendous material develop
ments planned and in progress at Pearl Harbor.
Then TOO, since the completion Of the Panama
Canal Honolulu is getting her share Of transpacifc
commerce, Branch Of trade which is destined to
assume ever increasing proportions Hogoluln
always has been cosmopolitan IN the racial sense.
Henceforth it is to be cosmopolitan in the scope
and extent Of its business opportunities. l. Si.s5
| Some business men have not kept in stepfssith
the changing conditions. The time was when
every one in Hawaii knew every one else, who
they were, what they did and what was the source
and amount of their income. Business has hither-
to always been conducted largely on credit basis
| as it must always be in all communities depend
en for their cash the sales Of agricultural prod
ucts. ~ 49, ~. i. :. z ID T. .
| twenty-five years ago settlements were made
once a, year The merchants capitalized their Gus
toner's II was the only way that business could
be done and in those days and under those con-
ditions the. trade losses to merchants who exer
csed only ordinary care in the extension of credits
were no greater than in mainland communities
today },s ft& j. ahEs..a>
The habit of extending unlimited credit has con
tinued down to this day. but because the city has
grown in population and diversity of resources,
bitter experience has, abundantly demonstrated
that greater discrimination must, be exercised by
merchants nj the extension Of credit. III y !.
: 1t does not speak well for the business acunen
of our merchants to have the authoritative an
Enouncement publicly made that there have been
329 bankruptcies in this Territory in fourteen
years or that in the last FIVE years losses through
bankruptcy have been two-thirdsy of million dol

This condition is not fair to customers who pay
their just debts. 1t is not fair to the man who
pays cash when the merchant from whom he buys
takes gambling risks with credit customers, nor is
it fair to the jobbers and wholesalers who sell to
the merchant his stock in trade. 4 ::
! Merchandising practise must change There is
no other solution of the problems. Those mer-
chants who refuse to accommodate their business
methods to the changing times are certain to have
a certain awakening. - IA, +r'..4 -

"A Prosperous Outlook

/, HE business outlook is better in Honolulu
- than it has been for years While we do not
anticipate building boom" this summer, enough
new structures are in sight to ensure employment
to practically all the mechanics and skilled labor
ers now in the Territory. The VOTERS block on
Union street. the Star Bulletin quarters and
the Hawaiian Board of Missions assembly hall
and Offices on King street all under way.
ErAs soon as the federal building site is definitely
announced number Of fine Office and business
blocks, plans for which prepared but have been
held in allegiance, will be begun. New residences
are springing up everywhere and new and up-to-
date tenements and cottages by the score.
This tendency to improve idle property is the
best indication that can be given of the abiding
faith of our people in the permanent prosperity Of
this Territory.

INVITES congressman

lnasmuch as the banquet of the
chamber of commerce to the visiting
senators and representatives was print
ed in the intineraries compiled for them
by the territorial government and in
the May number of Honolulu, the Off
cial publication of the chamber, no
cards Of invitation were sent them. 1t
appears, however, in private converse
ton with a number of them that, lack
ing invitations, many, of them have
not realized that places will DO waiting
for them in the Moana Hotel, at half.
past seven clock, next Monday night.
Therefore the invitation is again made
publicly, through The Advertiser.

Miss Alta Bailey entertained
about twenty young ladies at a
breakfast yesterday morning at her
home on Elm street. The home was
deliberately decorated in yellow and
white, with white peonies, daisies
and ferns in every room, the library
table holding a large basket of brides
roses and ferns. The breakfast
which was served at nine O'Clock

affair and the tables were daintily
trimmed in daisies and similax with
daisies lot ldFOlS. hC sOhoW anu
white color scheme was carried out
in the repast and the nut baskets
were also yellow and white. The

but "tolled' the story, for they were
of bridal bells and on the back of
the card was the rhyme
For Alta and Roy this wedding

Following the breakfast, short
musical program was given by the
Misses Hester Huff, Rosalind Cook

BUSINESS WOMEN.
Iowa Federation of WOmen's Clubs
Meeting Brings Out Some
Interesting Information

That the club women of Iowa City
are graceful and hospitable enter
tanners is shown by the evidence Of
the hundreds of visitors who were
meeting of the Iowa Federation Of
Women's clubs, says the Iowa City
Citizen. None could exceed the cour-
tesy and thoughtfulness of the hos
tesses, say the women of Iowa. But
one more word of praise should be
said for the Iowa City women who
had in charge the great task of car
| ing for about 600 guests for four
days. They met all the expenses
and had money left over. That is
something that can not always be
said for the men, who sometimes
think they have a corner on business
ability. According to the report made
by Mrs. Kessler, the treasurer, after
all expenses were paid, including
the cost of producing the Greek play,
which was a treat to the visitors,
there was balance of SITS remain
| ing on hand. In other words, the
business plans OF these business wo-
men worked out admirably and there
was no money raising after the
guests were gone. If any company
of men entertainers can show as
good financial record as that they
are entitled to be heard. One thing
more The women exhibited their
characteristic kindness of heart IN
donating the balance to deserving
local institution, the old ladies
home, which closes the chapter in q
manner that should meet the ap'
IIroval of everybody. To Mrs. Mayer
land her associates this praise is due

CUT IN 1916 OVER
LAND CARS.
The Four-Cylinder Machine Now
Sells at 500. A Reduction of
Almost One-Third Over
Last Year.

A big sensation in the automobile
industry has been produced by the
cut of 1925 in the price of the
Overland, a reduction of almost one
third. The largest four-cylinder
Overland produced this year will
sell for $3.50 delivered here. :;
Rud Bros, agents for Overlands
in DEBORAH expect car load of the
1915 Overlands this week.
Specifications show that while the
new model is better in many parti-
culars it is otherwise practically the
Overland which last season sold for
I$1075. 1t is lighter in weight, has
more power, an improved starting
and lighting system, one-man top,
headlight DINNER and divan uphol-
stery.
Model 80, as the new Overland is
known is a large touring car, with
body roomy enough to seat five
grown persons comfortably. in power,
| finish, comfort, equipment and con-
struction, it is fully the equal of its
predecessor.
The thirtytlve horsepower mo-
tor is exactly the same as that of last
seasons large Overland four, and in
view of the cars lighter weight the
surplus of power is even greater It's
lcylinders have bore of A Is inches
and a stroke of AZ inches,
The body also is like that of last
seasons model, conforming TO the
very latest notions in streamline de-
sign. As in the former model, the
shell is of a single stamping, which
joints its curve without break IA
lines to the slope of the engine hood
The exterior of the car is entirely
smooth. Frame, running board
brackets and battery boxes are con-
cealed by the running board shield
and crowned tenders of heavy gauge
ISlStI ouu materially W lAC cpptdl
ance of the car. Concealed door
hinges and inside handles carry out
the smooth effect.
The remarkably low price at which
this new model is placed on the mar.
ket is directly in line with the Over
land policy of giving the consumer
the benefit of the saving accomplish
ed by the big Toledo factory which
has been enlarged until it has daily
output of coo cars or double thai
which gave the company first place
in the records of the Automobile
Chamber of Commerce. Overland
officials declare that ii is only the
economies of such a tremendous pro
duction that enables them to estab
lish so low price.
