Cert. #339, issued at Honolulu in 1922 to Robert Fricke for 50 shares. Signed by C.C. Cooke (?) as president and treasurer (ill.). Hawaiian Agricultural Company was established in 1876, following the Reciprocity Treaty. Peter C. Jones, Charles R. Bishop, J.D. Brewer, H.A.P. Carter and several others chose to take advantage of the economic situation and incorporate on December 22, 1876 under the name Hawaiian Agricultural Company. Hawaiian Agricultural Co. was often referred to as Pahala Plantation.The plantation was located on the southwest coast of Hawaii at Pahala in the district of Kau. The fertile soil was created in 1868 by the massive eruption of the volcano at Mauna Loa. The company grew and processed sugar cane for decades with the first crop taken off in 1880. C. Brewer became agents for the plantation in 1883. In 1972, C. Brewer & Co. decided to consolidate the Hawaiian Agricultural Company with Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company. The new entity was named Kau Sugar Company (Hawaiian Sugar Planter’s Association Plantation Archives, University of Hawaii website). Punch cancelled thru signatures and up the center. VF.
