HON. SAMUEL M--DAM0N
'Mr. Damon, the principal partner in the firm of Bishop & Co., hat
been with the firm since September 1, 1870, As a powerful influence in
shaping the financial, industrial, and commercial, practise and ideals, of
Hawaii he has been second only to Charles R. Bishop, who founded the
banking house. Mr. Damon not only successfully conducted the affairs of
Bishop & Co. through the many troublesome times through which Hawaii
has passed, but as Minister of Finance under the Republic of Hawaii he
established the public finance of the then independent government on
lines of strength that had much to do with the government's ability to
maintain itself against most bitter attacks. When, after annexation to
the United States, Mr. Damon withdrew from public office, he left the
Public Treasury of the Islands with a surplus of a million dollars.
Illshop bought tho Interest of Mr.
Ilalston and continued ns tho solo
luirtnci until Ma) 1, 1 S "'-" , when J.

Mr. Bottomley is Mr. Damon's sole
partner in the banking house of Bish
op & Co., he having been associated
with Mr. Damon as a partner since
April 1. 1905. Mr. Bottomley came
to the Islands from England, and his
first work was in establishing the Au
diting Department of the bank,
which, through his excellent manage
ment, developed into the Audit Com
pany of Hawaii. He it a member' of
the Chamber of Commerce' and an; act-.
ive factor in the public affairs of the
community.
Identified with the Industrial nnd
commercial progress of the Islands.
When the sugar business was start
ing nnd passing through the days of
tilal and struggle, tho house of Illsh
op & Co. again and again proved tho
strong right arm that carried tho In
dustrial wnrkcrs'thrnugli. On ono oc
casion Illshop & Co. borrowed JG00,
000, at a ery high rate of Interest
from a San rraaclsco syndicate, this
sum being dcoled to tiding tho su
gar-planting Interests mcr a serious
crisis. Charles It. Illshop, hy his able
management, put tho stamp ot
strength nnd integrity on all tho op
erations of the hank, nnd thereby
gained th" confidence of the people.
This put It fairly on tho road to pros
I crlty, and there has been no turning
bark. Some thirteen years ago Mr.
Illshop retired from nctlvo manage
meat and lion 8. M. Damon assumed
the responsibility. Mr. Damon nan

public of Hawaii and besides placing
the public flnanco of the Island gov
