G. FRED BUSH, Merchandise Manager. For 26 years G. Fred Bush has been manager 
of the merchandise department of the Honolulu Iron Works, a period of 
remarkable growth. The company in 1924 did double the business that it 
transacted five years ago.
  Mr. Bush in 1898 was working for Dunham, Carrigan and Hayden, a wholesale 
hardware concern in San Francisco, when he was sent to Honolulu, through the 
firm, to organize the hardware section of the Honolulu Iron Works, which now 
handles everything in the engineering and plumbing supply lines, and is the 
largest concern of this nature in Hawaii.
  Other business lines have interested Mr. Bush. He has been a director of the 
Honolulu Construction and Draying Co. since its organization, and is a 
director of the Home Insurance Co., the Realty Association, Ltd., the Pacific 
Engineering Co., Ltd., the Auto Club of Hawaii, and the Chamber of Commerce.
  He is a former governor and president of the Commercial Club and a former 
director and vice-president of the Merchants’ Association of Honolulu.
  Mr. Bush has been a director of the Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu for more 
than a decade, a large portion of which time he served as chairman of the 
maritime affairs committee of that organization, which has done much to 
increase the shipping and shipping facilities of Honolulu.
  Mr. Bush was born at Joliet, Ill., Nov. 1, 1865, the son of Hiram Fred and 
Josephine (Young) Bush. His education was received in the public schools of 
Oakland. In 1890 he married Clara T. Sparrowe of San Francisco and they have 
five sons, Gavien Arthur, Hiram Shirley, Albert Sparrowe, Le Roy Cagwin and 
Gavien Fred, Jr.
