NCOlJllueu FROM rage lG.D
tniations made by James d. Dole in
1911, the stockholders of the company
sold their controlling interest at a
high figure to the Hawaiian Pineapple
Company. II was Mr.. Dole's dream
at one time, to make a second Hawaii
an Pineapple Co. at Haiku, but mar
ket conditions became demoralized
about that time and he became dis.
c%ouraged with his Haiku venture.
The control by the Hawaiian Pine
apple Co. continued, however, until
1918 when a hui" of ten Maui men,
headed by H. w. Rice, in conjunction
with Joseph Durney of San Francisco
and some of his mainland friends, ar
ranged with Mr.. Dole to take over all
the holdings of the Hawaiian Pineap-
ple Co. At that time the amalgama-
ton of the Maui Pineapple Co. with
the Haiku Fruit & Packing Co. was
effected through the efforts of Mr..
Rice in conjunction with Mr.. A. F..
Tavares. Mr.. Durney, and others, he
basis of the amalgamation being four
shares of the Haiku Company for five
shares of the Maui Pineapple Co.,
The Maui Pineapple Co. then discon-
tinued as an operatinf company, and
its at Pauwela was dismant-
led and the machinery and lumber
used toward enlargement of the plant
at Haiku. Mr.. Rice assumed the man
agement of the ~reorganized Haiku
Company until early in 1919 when the
controlling interest was sold TO the
Durney interests, and Mr.. Rice retired
in favor of Mr.. Tavares who assumed
the management.
The and camps OF the com
pany have been greatly enlarged, ana
still further extensive enlargement Is
necessary since the company expects
TO pack around 10000 cases in 1871
and to reach the 100000 case mark
in 1922. Their pack for 1919 was close
to 400, 900 cases and that for 1870 Will
approximate 600, 900 cases. rms COM
pan feels that the future Is bright,
especially now that they have devel-
oped better cultivation methods Tor
producing good crops on the ola Janus
coupled with rotation with plneapples
of profitable cane crops on their old
lands. The Griffith Durney Co. are
sales agents.
Second cannerys Starts
The second Gamer to be built on
Maui was that of the Maui pineapple
Co., which concern was Incorporated
in 1910 with a capital of 100000. The
officers we're: Jutaro Kuabara, pres

shi, treasurer, and K. Yokogawa, sec
rotary. Mr.. S. Yoshimasu, at present
with the Haiku Fruit & lacking Co..
y was the first manager of this new
concern, which position he filled until
in 1915, when the financial agency OF
the company was taken over from the
Bank of Waikiki by the BALDWIN Ma
tional Bank, and Mr.. A. f. Tavares
was appointed manager. Their selling
agency had in the meantime been
transferred from the California Can
neries Co. of Isidor Jacobs to the hrm
OF Griffith urney Co., the large sal
mon and canned foods commission
house of San Francisco, of which MI,
Joseph Durney is president and gene
raj and Mr.. William Rolph
is vice-president. 1t was this agency
connection and the foresight of Mr..
Durney which later on contributed
largely in effecting the amalgamation
of the Maui Pineapple Co., with the
Haiku Company.
The cannery of the Maui Pineapple
Co. was located in the gulch at Pau
wela, and to facilitate the handling of
