NEW BUILDING
FDD WALL STREET
Big Addition to be Placed in Front of
the Valdez Sheet Metal Work*
—Will Open Store.
f
Work of Publicity is Planned—To
Build Arch—Fine Painting of
Railroad Routes.
Work has commenced on the con
struction of a big store building on
the corner of Wall and Front streets.
The Valdez Sheet Metal building will
be moved back and a new building
with store front will l?e constructed
and the company will operate a hard
ware and ships chandlers store in
the front part of the building, while
the sheet metal business will be con
ducted in the rear.
Workmen yesterday started to move
the small cabin on the rear of the
lot back, and the building now used
by the sheet metal workers will be
gloved back to make room for the
40-foot addition.
General Manager Mead, of the
Sheet Metal company, stated to a rep
resentative of the Prospector today
that the business of the company had
increased so much the past winter and
the prospects for business this sum
mer were so bright that the company
was preparing to be ready for the
rush and would largely increase the
stock and output of the concern.
The Valdez Commercial Association
held a rousing meeting last nighi at
the chambers of the city council.
The work of publicity was mapped
out and reports of the work of the
board of trustees and of the special
committees.
Secretary James Kish demonstrat-i
ed to the members of the club that
he has spent many hours in inves
tigating the reports of the railroad,
commission and of the other gov
ernment agencies working in Alaska.
The motto of Valdez hereafter will
be: “Valdez, the Golden Key to the
Golden Heart of Alaska.’’ Stickers to
be pasted on envelopes have been
ordered by the club for distribution.
A big sign with the same motto will
be placed on the Valdez dock so that
as the strangers come up the ap
proach they will pass through an arch,
the keystone of fwhich will be a
large gold heart with a gold key, sig
nifying the golden key to to the gold
en heart of the interior of Alaska.
The painting by Sidney Lawrence,
the artist, which was painted by or
der of the publicity committee, was j
greatly admired by the members of i
the association. The picture clearly \
shows the superiority of the Valdez
route over that from any other port
on the Gulf of Alaska, and at a glance
proves conclusively that a road from i
Valdez would be through the storm!
belt prevalent along the coast in a!
distance of 25 miles, whereas all oth
er lines are in the same belt for more
than 100 miles. This is because
Valdez bay is many miles north or
any other possible coast port.
Government maps were used to get j
(he necessary data to secure the rel- I
ative distances.
