GLADSTONE SCOTT LEITHEAD, Transportation Superintendent. Coming to Hawaii from 
Scotland in 1901, Gladstone S. Leithead, now superintendent of transportation 
and warehouse foreman for the American Factors, Ltd., has had more than twenty 
years of business experience in Honolulu. After working for a short time as an 
overseer at Kahuku Plantation, Mr. Leithead became manager of the Waialua Soda 
Works in 1901, remaining in that position four years. Employed until 1909 in a 
similar capacity with the Consolidated Soda Works, Mr. Leithead at that time 
branched into business for himself, buying an interest in the Arctic Soda 
Works and continuing with the firm as a senior partner until 1914, when it was 
amalgamated with the Rycroft Soda Works. He was with the present Rycroft 
Arctic Co., Ltd., until 1918 as vice-president and manager. Entering the 
employ of H. Hackfeld & Co., Mr. Leithead became warehouse foreman and 
continued with the company after its reorganization as the American Factors, 
Ltd. He was appointed to his present position in 1922. Fishing is Mr. 
Leithead’s hobby, and in 1923 he caught a 17 ½-lb. oio with rod and line, a 
record which still stands for Hawaiian sportsmen.
  Born in Selkirkshire, Scotland, July 1, 1880, Mr. Leithead is the son of 
William and Helen (Scott) Leithead. He received his education in the 
government schools of Scotland. Mr. Leithead and Margaret Cullen were married 
in Honolulu in Dec., 1902. They have six children, William, Jack, Arthur, 
Helen, Wilhelmina and Gladstone Scott Leithead, Jr. Mr. Leithead is a Mason 
and a past exalted ruler of the Honolulu Lodge of Elks, and was a delegate to 
the Elks’ national convention held at Atlantic City, N.J., in July, 1922.
