Nome Bowlers Directors
Hold Public Meeting
Nome Bowlers Inc., held the
first of several public meetings j
Wednesday evening and many in- |
terested persons showed up.
President Dick Galleher de
scribed progress of the stock sale j
and building plans and empha- j
sized that all money derived from
sale of stock is going directly into j
the building program. None of j
the directors receive a salary.
It was brought out during the
meeting that the stock, at one
dollar a share, will automatically
double or better in value upon
the erection of the building. When
the alleys are in, the corporation
intends to stop the sale of stock
and the business will carry the
expense of operation and manage
ment.
When, he was in Nome, Mr. Car
tee of the Brunswick Corp., esti
mated that Nome Bowlers should
be completely paid out and sol
vent within three and a half
years.
With the sale of bowling equip
ment and accessories and all the
other income producing factors, it
is estimated that the lanes should
show a net of about $1,400 a
month.
Work is expected to proceed on
the footing walls and foundation
slab very shortly. Ground and
foundation samples have to be
taken first and then the cement
work can proceed.
The corporation has until the
last boat to get the building erect
ed and they intend to make cer
tain that the work is of the very
best quality.
The Brunswick Co. will send in
their own men to install the alleys
when the building is completed
and the alleys and pinsetters ar
rive.

Federal Building to
Get “Nome” Sign
Franklin Mahon, area manager
for the General Services Admin
istration, has been here for the
past week at the Federal Build
ing. He announces that he brought
with him the metal letters NOME
which will be placed on the out
side of the building to complete
its identification.
At the time of the dedication
of the building, many persons ob
served that “'Nome” did not ap
pear on the building as it had on
the old building, and felt that

identify it with the name of the
town on the building. Further
more it was a building which the
community was proud to have its
name on.
