Tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 1st,
t
will mark the inauguration of
All-Alaska Airplane mail service

there is only one such service,:
that established between Juneau
and Fairbanks, w'hich demands
that letters bear six cents post-,
age.
The local Chamber of Com-;
merce has had printed a quantity

Flight envelopes for free dis
tribution to the public with the
intention of having them used

ation of this service.
The envelope contains a draw
ing of most of Alaska with an
airplane flying over the territory.
