New Head For Pacific Islands

THE Pacific Islands Trading Co., estab lished in' San Francisco a few years ago by Mr. A. G. Andrews, formerly of Fiji and other South Pacific Terri tories, has been sold as a going concern to Mr. C. C. Butler, of Oakland (Cali fornia), and Guam.

Mr. Butler has been a leading merchant in the American North Pacific Territory of Guam for some years and, although he has removed to San Francisco, he retains his business interests in the North Pacific.

Under Mr. Andrews’ direction the Pacific Islands Trading Co. has built up a con siderable turnover in the Islands of the South Pacific; and the indications are that Mr. Butler will seek to extend and develop these connections.

Mr. Andrews will remain at the office of the Co. in San Francisco until the end of October and then, with Mrs. Andrews and their son, he will spend a year or so in Europe.
