HERBERT BIRD WELLER, Sales Manager. While engaged as general freight and 
passenger agent for the Kahului Railroad on the island of Maui, H. B. Weller 
handled the Maui business of the Union Oil Co. until 1915, when the latter 
corporation induced him to come to Honolulu as district sales manager for 
Oahu, his present position.
  Mr. Weller became keenly interested in the amusement problem when on Maui, 
and was the moving spirit in the establishment of a motion picture theater 
circuit and the organization of the Maui Amusement Co., in which he still has 
a controlling interest.
  Previous to his railway and oil company work, Mr. Weller spent a year on 
Honolulu Plantation following his arrival here in 1900. On the mainland he had 
been paymaster of the Mountain Copper Co. in the Shasta region in California, 
and had earlier been engaged in the fruit business in San Jose, Calif.
  Before coming to America from England, where he was born March 7, 1870, the 
son of George W. and Mary (Bird) Weller, Mr. Weller was connected with the 
London firm of Harker Brothers, stock and bond brokers. His education was 
obtained in the public schools of England.
  He is a charter member of the Masonic Lodge on Maui, and belongs to the 
Pacific, Oahu Polo and Racing, Oahu Country and Commercial Clubs and the 
Chamber of Commerce.
  In 1891 Mr. Weller married Miss Fannie Morrison, a niece of Frank M. Pixley, 
noted former editor and proprietor of the San Francisco Argonaut, and they had 
one daughter, Miss Vera Weller Pixley of San Francisco. Mrs. Weller died in 
1894, and in 1917 Mr. Weller married Julia Heebener of Philadelphia. They have 
one daughter, Mary Louise Weller.
