English: “Ukuleles. Everybody’s playing them, playing them, playing them. So easy to learn-- Such fun to play-- And here they are--heaps and heaps of them with books of instructions and lots of catchy music and all at ‘Bon Marche’ prices.”
Ukuleles, banjukes, ukulele bags and cases, ukulele instruction books, leis, Hawaiian sheet music at the Bon Marche. Seattle star, Aug. 21, 1917, Image 10 http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87093407/1917-08-21/ed-1/seq-10/ The first group of Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii invented the ukulele after they arrived in August 1879 via the SS Ravenscrag. That ship included cabinet makers from Madeira Island, who brought the Medeiran machete. In their new country, ukulele inventors Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias developed the ukulele, and the Hawaiians adopted it (ukulele means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian). George E. K. Awai and his Royal Hawaiian Quartet popularized the small, guitar-like instrument when they performed at the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. From then on to the early 1920s, the ukulele became popular on the mainland United States.
