CarniVal's Good Results
1t was brought out at the meeting
of the directors that it was well real
lied that the Carnival could not pay
for itself, but that the consequent bene,
fits enjoyed by the city made it very
we'll worth while. Frank E. Blake
general manager Of the Hawaiian Elec
tric Company, estimated that the Carni
val of last February had brought Homo
lulu at least 100000 worth of new
business.
w. H. McInerny cited a specific ex
ample of what Carnival meant to the
town. Certain of his customers had
sent a lot of Oriental goods, purchasc d
here, to his store to be packed for ship
ment abroad. In single packing case
1880 worth of articles had been pre-
pared for export.
AS an illustration of growing promo
ton enthusiasm in the business com
munity, attention was drawn to the
Willingness to pledge a bonus of $4,000
for the steamship Great Northern 4
Hawaiian run. Support in matters
that meant benefit t. the community
was becoming more free and generous
Decorations Guaranteed
AS for the decoration of the down
town section of the city during Carni
val week. the 1917 showing will be q
credit to the city. The board of retail
trades is enthusiastic and there is t.
be no diversion of effort, all working
together. Diversion of effort and too
n ICh responsibility left to individual,
during last February was responsible
for the failure to make good in the dec
Grating line. There is no direct return
from the decoration feature. it wa,
agreed, but the good obtained in thu
long run is more than can be estimated
"YOu can count on me as booster.
said McInernv. "Me, tOO.' criPC
Rerndt, and this was the sentiment OF
all present.
Whatever is necessary for proper anr
attractive decorations will be forth
