Name For New
Dining Room
The North Star Bakery and
Grill has a new dining room and
banquet hall in process of con
struction at the rear of the pres
ent building. The new room will
overlook Bering Sea and accord
ing to the owners, Ernie Gustaf
son and Bob Renshaw, will be
the last word in dining comfort
and convenience. No effort has
been spared to make this the din
ing room par excellence of the
northland.
The owners have set a tentative
opening date for some during the
Christmas holidays but as yet
have not struck upon a name that
will be appropriate. As a result
they have decided to sponsor a
contest, open to all, to choose a
name for their new dining room.
A prize of J£25 is offered, either
in cash or in restaurant or bak
ery goods and services.
The contest will close at mid
night, November 15th.
A depository for the name sug
gestions will be placed in the
North Star Grill for anyone who
has a name to offer. Entry blanks
may be secured at the Grill. All
that is necessary is the suggested
name and your name and post
office box or address and the
date and approximate hour of
your entry. This last is necessary
in the event of duplicate names,
then the name having the earliest
date or hour will take precedence.
All entries will be come the
property of the North Star Grill.
The management of the North
Star Grill will be the sole judges
as to the winning name.
Ernie and Bob want a name
that conveys the meaning of good
food deliciously prepared and ex
pertly served in an atmosphere
reflecting both the feeling of
this northern frontier and of
luxurious dining surroundings.
