Found some very interesting information about the Johnson Wax connection.

"Johnson's Wax used an S-38 as an executive airplane, and it proved itself very useful in a South American exploration flight in search of Carnauba trees.

The company recently commissioned a replica of this airplane and reenacted the trip to South America."

Found this about the airplane in Hawaii:

"The airplane was ideal for inter-island work; four were used for many years in Hawaii."
