A nicely preserved small grouping of printed souvenirs documenting the expansion of Hawaiian tourism in the 1920s, largely sponsored by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Los Angeles Steamship Company. By 1928, Hawaii, and the city of Honolulu were seeing approximately 20,000 tourist visitors a year, and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel was also encouraging increased tourism, and use of their beaches on Waikiki, as well as tourist visitors to other islands. The Hawaii Tourist Bureau, successor to the Hawaii Promotion Bureau sponsored a beautification project in Honolulu, encouraged development along Waikiki Beach, development of gold courses, expansion of ocean liner piers, and much more to drive tourism. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles Steamship company were heavily involved in these efforts, often by recruiting the Who's Who of southern California, including the Bullock's, Eastman's, Jungmeyer's, MacDonald's, and others, such as Hilario Moncado, editor and publisher of Filipino Nation. The Hawaii Trade Bulletin is quite scarce and details the big island of Hawaii, with descriptions of Hilo, Hamakua, Kohala, Kona, Hawaii National Park and Puna, with business listings, map, and mentions of Kona coffee. Shipboard activities onboard the S.S. City of Honolulu included a bridge tournament, shuffleboard, tennis, and masquerade ball. The dinner menu listed nuts, caviar, sardines, Columbia River Salmon, sea food patties, and Hawaiian Salad.
