  • Hawaiʻi's Big Five
    Hawaiʻi’s Big Five (Plus 2) “By 1941, every time a native Hawaiian switched on his lights, turned on the gas or rode on a street car, he paid a tiny tribute into Big Five coffers.” (Alexander MacDonald, 1944) The story of Hawaii’s largest companies dominates Hawaiʻi’s economic history. Since the early/mid- 1800s, until relatively recently, five major companies emerged and dominated the Island’s economic framework. Their common trait: they were focused on agriculture - sugar. They became known as the Big Five: C. Brewer (1826;) Theo H. Davies (1845;) Amfac - starting as Hackfeld & Company (1849;) Castle & Cooke (1851) and Alexander & Baldwin (1870.) C. Brewer & Co.

Actually, only Castle & Cooke has direct ties to the mission. However, Castle ran the ‘depository’ and Cooke was a teacher, neither were missionary ministers. Alexander & Baldwin were sons of missionaries, but not a formal part of the mission.

  • German Sugar's Sticky Fingers Frederick Bernays Wiener Overshadowed by Aloha Tower, and on the Site of One of the Twin 21-Story
    German Sugar's Sticky Fingers Frederick Bernays Wiener Overshadowed by Aloha Tower, and on the site of one of the twin 21-story Amfac Towers on the Fort Street Mall, there originated one of the most memorable and unusual incidents of Hawaiian history. Amfac Inc., now a billion dollar conglomerate, is the successor at one remove to Hackfeld & Co. Ltd., which prior to 1918 was the center of German influence in the Pacific. Seized by the Alien Property Custodian in that year, Hackfeld & Co. was sold to a new group, American Factors Ltd. Beginning in 1920, the expropriated former stockholders recovered some or all of their seized property, after which they sued the purchasers, contending that the sale price fixed in 1918 had been grossly inadequate, that it was the result of a business conspiracy masquerading as patriotism. After eight years of struggle in the courts, where all their contentions were rejected, some of the former stockholders then sought to recoup their claimed losses from the United States Government. In the course of defending those new proceedings, the Government embarked on a relentless search, laboriously assembling and arranging bits and pieces of evidence from many persons in widely scattered places. Subsequently the United States established in those and further lawsuits, extending over another nine years, that the principal earlier recoveries had involved extensive and artfully contrived frauds; that a subordinate official, whose apparently fortuitous appearance on the scene was actually of determinative weight, had earlier been corrupted; and that two future Chief Justices of the United States, Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes and Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone, had each made a controlling mistake of law.

  • Patricia Saiki Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript
    Patricia Saiki U.S. Representative of Hawaii (1987–1991) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript September 20, 2018 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “But when you present instances or examples where they are personally involved one way or another then the whole attitude changes. And so in politics, that’s what it is, isn’t it? It’s personal. You know, you can take any issue, but it doesn’t matter unless it affects you in some way or another. And I always took that as a way to reach people. I don’t care whether they’re Republican or Democrat or independent. It takes the issue and the persons involved, and you can make changes if you have a positive way of handling any serious question.” Patricia Saiki September 20, 2018 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biographies iv Interview 1 Notes 46 Abstract Patricia Saiki’s path to Capitol Hill began in Hawaii, where she was born to Japanese-American parents in 1930. While raising five children, she worked as a teacher, union organizer, and state legislator before winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986. She was the first Republican and second woman to represent Hawaii in Congress since statehood. In this interview, she discusses her long political career, providing insight into Hawaiian state politics, her legislative strategies as an elected representative at the state and federal level, and the role of women in American politics during the 1970s and 1980s.

  • James D. Dole and the 1932 Failure of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company
    richard a. hawkins James D. Dole and the 1932 Failure of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company There are fewer case studies of entrepreneurial failure than of entrepreneurial success. The records of failed businesses usually do not survive. The Hawaiian Pineapple Co. is an example of a failed company where the records survived. In 1932 a new company was organized that acquired the failed company’s name and assets. One of the assets was the brand name “Dole”. Today “Dole” is one of the leading brand names in fresh and processed fruit and vegetables. The origin of the brand name is the eponymous James Drummond Dole, who founded the Hawaiian Pineapple Company in 1901, which is one of the predecessors of today’s Dole Food Company, Inc. It is ironic that his name has survived as an international brand name because Dole lost control of his company in 1932, in what was the American Territory of Hawai‘i’s largest inter-war business failure. This article explores and analyzes the reasons for the failure of the Hawaiian Pine- apple Co. Dole migrated from his native Massachusetts to the Hawaiian Islands in late 1899 to take up the cultivation of coffee at a home- stead settlement. However, at the time coffee turned out not to be a Richard Hawkins is Senior Lecturer in History at the School of Humanities, University of Wolverhampton, England. He began his research on Hawai‘i’s pineapple industry as a doc- toral student in the early 1980s. Since the completion of his doctoral dissertation in 1986, he has continued to work on the economic and social history of Hawai‘i.

  • County of Kauai Drought Mitigation Strategies
    County of Kauai Drought Mitigation Strategies Prepared for: Kauai Drought Committee and State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Commission on Water Resource Management Prepared by: Wilson Okamoto Corporation Engineers and Planners 1907 South Beretania Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96826 October 2004 (Updated June 2012) Editor’s Note The revisions in this Updated June 2012 report are limited to the addition, removal, or modification of the drought mitigation projects (projects) identified in the November 2004 version of this report. In 2007, the Hawaii State Legislature appropriated funding for drought mitigation projects in the four counties of Hawaii, which helped to implement some projects identified in the November 2004 version of this report. The purpose of this update was to update the list of projects by delisting any projects that have been completed, modifying project descriptions to reflect the current status, and to add projects identified to meet new drought mitigation needs. The new projects were compiled during two time periods. First, in 2009, the County Drought Committees were asked to identify drought mitigation projects eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding. During this time, new projects were identified and project nomination sheets were completed and submitted to Hawaii State Civil Defense for funding consideration. Second, in 2011 at the request of the Hawaii Drought Council, the County Drought Committees were asked to review the list of projects their respective County Drought Mitigation Strategies. The Committees were asked to add, remove, or modify any projects to reflect current conditions and needs. New projects were also identified at this time.
