FRED J. MASER, Master Mechanic. Backed by long experience as an expert 
mechanic, Fred J. Maser took over the management of the Honolulu Welding 
Machine Co., Ltd., in 1920, and is now president, manager and owner of the 
firm, also operating a branch establishment at Wailuku, Maui.
  Born in Franklin, Neb., Feb. 21, 1889, Mr. Maser received his education in 
the schools of that city. He served a four-year apprenticeship under his 
father and in 1910 established a machine repair business in Franklin. Removing 
to Seattle in 1912, Mr. Maser entered a similar business, remaining there 
until 1914. He served during the World War in the United States navy.
  Making his first trip to Honolulu when assigned as a chief special mechanic 
to Pearl Harbor, Mr. Maser remained in Honolulu until 1918, receiving an 
honorable discharge at San Francisco in August of that year. For the remainder 
of the World War period he was engaged by the Morse Shipbuilding Co. at 
Oakland, Calif. He returned to Honolulu in Jan., 1919, and after being 
associated with the Honolulu Iron Works, purchased an interest in the company 
which he now heads.
  Mr. Maser and Hazel Cunningham were married in Honolulu, March 21, 1918. He 
is a Mason (past master of Lodge le Progres de l’Oceanie and master of Pearl 
Harbor Lodge), a Shriner and an Elk.
