Item Description

Publication One: "Hawaiian Hospitality"

By George T. Armitage

Published and Distributed by Hawaiian Service, (Louise & George T. Armitage), Publishers of Hawaiiana.

Excerpt from book: "Hawaii is the land of the open house. Seldom, if ever, does the Islander close his front door, much less lock it. It is the land where the pursuit of happiness is an art, and where the stranger or malihini is always an excuse for a party."

Publication Two: "Paradise of the Pacific, Vol. 75. No. 3, March, 1963"

Contents include: "The Man Who Reshaped Hawaii," "The Lady of Washington Place," "The Do-It-Yourself Castaway," "100 Years of Fashions," "The Day We Saw A Pink Elephant," "Tourism in 1905," and "When Maui Snared The Sun."

Bottom of Contents page says: "PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC, Hawaii's favorite magazine since the days of King Kalakaua, is published by Paradise Publishers, a division of Watkins and Sturgis, Ltd., Printers and Lithographers."

Publication Three: "AAA Hawaii TourBook: An annual catalog of selected travel information"

By American Automobile Association

Excerpt from book: "IF YOU SEE an old woman with a white dog on the Big Island, be very nice to her: She might be Madame Pele. Although their origins are lost in time, such admonitions cast a subtle folkloric pattern on contemporary Hawaiian life. Such is the magic that attracts legions of visitors to this cluster of volcanic islands. Sun, surf, wide sandy beaches, cosmopolitan nightlife and uncluttered quietude have brought to life for many the dream of their own special Hawaiian island."
