FOR THE NECESSITIES OF LIFEAn island community is necessarily much more dependent on its wholesalers for its vital needs than are mainland communities. And to do a first class job in bringing to the islands your food, clothing, drugs, hardware and other necessities requires an organization like AM ERICAN FACTORS-

— strong enough financially to keep a large . volume of goods streaming across 2100

miles of ocean

— ivith offices in New York and San Fran­cisco to facilitate ordering and speed up shipping

— with spacious warehouses located at stra­tegic points in Hawaii in which to keep reserve stocks altvays on hand

— and with a large enough executive, clerical and accounting staff to keep this big volume of business moving smoothly.
