ROBERT CLEVELAND ANTHONY, Automobile Manager. Robert C. Anthony, manager of 
the merchandise department, including parts and accessories, of the Royal 
Hawaiian Sales Co., Ltd., began work in the automobile business in 1905 as 
demonstrator and instructor in driving for J. W. Leavitt & Co., in San 
Francisco. After a year and half, he joined the sales organization of the 
Moore Motor Supply Co. in the bay city, and from 1908 to 1912 he was salesman 
for various San Francisco automobile, tire and accessory shops.
  In April, 1912, he came to Honolulu to become salesman in the accessory 
department of the von Hamm-Young Co., Ltd. He later organized and took charge 
of that firm’s parts department, and from 1915 to 1918 was manager of the 
parts department of the Schuman Carriage Co., Ltd. Joining the sales staff of 
E. O. Hall & Son, Ltd., in 1918, Mr. Anthony remained there for a brief 
period, later revised the parts system of the Volcano Stables Co. in Hilo, and 
managed the parts and accessory department of the Pond Co., Ltd., until 
September, 1919, when he departed for the mainland to become connected with 
the Commercial Motors Co. of Seattle and later was manager of the company’s 
branch at Spokane, handling Commerce and Moreland trucks, until September, 
1920, when he returned to Honolulu to manage the parts department of the Royal 
Hawaiian Sales Co., Ltd. This department has recently been combined with 
accessories, and called the merchandise department, which Mr. Anthony now 
directs.
  Born in Indianapolis, Ind., on Oct. 21, 1888, Mr. Anthony is the son of John 
Henry and Alice (Kaufman) Anthony. He attended the public schools and Cogswell 
Polytechnic College, San Francisco. In 1919 he married Emily Crisman of 
Seattle. Mr. Anthony is a Mason, Shriner and an Elk.
