Honolulu Record, August 19, 1948, vol. 1 no. 3, p. 2

We are Coming Along

Well . . . this is it, the third, issue of the HONOLULU RECORD. We hope you'll like it. We hope you'll read it from cover to cover. We hope you'll urge your friends to read the HONOLULU RECORD too.

We need your support. Printing costs money. Paper costs money. The editor has to eat a meal now and then. And we plan to publish an issue each week.

None of us on the HONOLULU RECORD hope to become a millioniare [sic] from this venture. We don't expect to; we don't want to. All we want to do is publish a paper that speaks for the common man. We want to give him the voice that he doesn't have today. We want to take the independent, thoughtful stand which will best speak for the ma­jority of the people.

But in order to do that we need your kokua. (That's a Hawaiian word meaning "subscription".)
