This source is a newspaper from Honolulu. The newspaper covers a variety of topics such as sporting results, and local news. The paper also features adverts for many different products such as cars and a carnival. However on page 7 there is a big advert for what appears to be a department store called Jordan’s, whom are advertising a re-stock of their products. The advert also shows sketches of the women’s clothes which they are stocking. The dresses are in a traditional American 1900’s fashion, and would not have been typical native Hawaiian dress, which shows America’s influence and the Westernisation of the Hawaiian islands. This source could be useful for understanding more about the transition to statehood in terms of daily life, as well as understanding the growing capitalist and consumerist economic development and lifestyle in Hawai’i.
