This source is a page taken from the Honolulu Star Bulletin featuring a variety of different adverts explaining what you need for Thanksgiving. This is important because Thanksgiving is an American holiday, and a key part of their national culture, and through the holiday being advertised in Hawai’i, it’s showing that more and more of America’s culture and influence was being transferred to the islands. This is also useful for understanding economic development in the Hawaiian Islands, as firstly the adverts show that people had the money to spend on these goods, but also it reveals the types of industries and shops that were in Hawai’i at this time.
