Opportunities
The ‘‘Cosmopolitan Magazine”
contained an article entitled
‘‘Opportunity—Hot or Cold.”
This made its appearance about
November 15th. 1938. Early in
December a deluge of mail arriv
ed in Nome, coming from every’
state in the Union, the provinces
of Canada, Canal Zone, Hawaiian
Island and the Philippines. Four
months have elapsed since the
publication appeared, but the
flow of mail continues at the rate
of more than fifty letters per
week.
Alaska has much to advertise
<and great opportunities are here
for those who arrive with suffic
ient capital to take advantage of
the opportunities presented and
who can accomodate themselves
to the country.
The Nome Nugget takes plea
sure in quoting from a few of
the letters received by the Cham
ber of Commerce and suggests
that these letters be given the
earnest attention of those who de
sire assistance in developing
their properties.

NEW RECRUIT in the
ranks of the Metropolitan opera
is Rise Stevens, contralto, who
is one of the three Americans,
out of 16 new' triists, picked for
a debut this season. A New
Yorker, Miss Stevens has studied,
and suns operatic roles, abroad.
Believe It Or Not
It is hard to believe by some
people that newspaper adver
tising does pay—why, just think
of it—a pair of eye glasses were
lost on the street a few days ago,
picked up and given to the Nome
Nugget who inserted a small lost
advertisement in one issue, last
Wednesday afternoon. The same
evening the telephone rang ask
ing about the glasses, the follow'
ing morning the party interested,
obtained the lost glasses. It so
happened that the party who lost
them, had taken a plane for Fair
banks to attend the Carnival.
The glasses were sent the next
day via plane to the owner at
Fairbanks, who no doubt will be
surprised as well as glad to re
ceive them.
This is only one of the many
lost and found articles which
year after year are advertised
in the Nome Nugget and return
ed to their owners. Hundreds of
dollars in value are in this way
returned every year.
We recall another instance
where a young lady arrived in
Nome from the outlying sections.
She was leaving via steameT in
a day or two for Seattle, she
dropped her purse in the morn
ing containing her ticket and sev
eral hundred dollars in currency.
An advertisement was placed in
The Nugget and in less than 10
hours the purse was returned to
the ’Nugget Office and the lady
received it without a single thing
missing.
We are now advertising for the
return of a wrist watch, lost in
the snow on the street near
May’s Tavern. It sometimes hap
pens the article is not very ex
pensive, but the owner may have
some personal regard for the ar
ticle. such as a gift, etc. and are
desirious of getting it back.
