5c ward, Alaska, October II,
We had a word to say yesterdax
about the direlicts of a community.
Today we wish to pay a brief tribute
to the men who really do things—the
backbone, so to speak, of the town A
glance at the advertising columns ol
this paper is mute evidence, to a large
degree, as to who compose the solid,
suev* >>fnl and progressive men of Sew
ard, eliminating those equally import
ant individuals, and there are many ol
them, who uo not deal directly with
the public, and who, ol course,* have
no occasion to advertise. Show us a
new spaper from any tow n, anil we iI
point out the big men of that town. A
glance at the advertising pages will
suffice.
Tnese progressive firms and individ
uals referred lo recognize the fact that
a local newspaper merits support and
patronage. L'hex know*—and we know
better than they that the Gateway
is small and unimportant, as compared
to newspapers in larger communities.
But they realize that this is a very
>mali community, and are thankful to
have even a little daily messenger that
seeks to gi\e them at least an idea of
what's going on in the outside world.
It is a real pleasure to work with such
men, who always have a word of en
couragement for any extra effort that
the Gateway may make.
Take these progressive, up-to-date
men out of town, what have you left?
Seward would be a habitation fit only
for aborigines, despite its superb nat
ural advantages.
dak* ,e “live ones,’* to use the
vernacular, out of tow n, and you would
have no newspaper, no lighting plant,
no water system, no hank, no well
equipped stores or hotels, no restaur
ant, no other important adjunct or con
venience so necessary to a town s well
being.
As was to be expected, many readers
of the Gateway thought yesterday’s ar
ticle was directed at them. The Eng*
lish luniruasre is capable of proper con
struction, by those who know it. If
vou are ;t non-subscriber and take the
liberty of casting slurs on this publi
cation. and never work, and contin
ually howl about things that you never
support, then it means you—and you
can make tlie most of it.
'Aeroplane flying
imposes unforeseen
and trying conditions on a
watch. The aeroplane
vibrates constantly. It tilts
at all angles. Otten it lands
with a jolt that would ruin
the balance-wheel of many
a watch.
The Wright Brothers had most
r unsatisfactory experiences with all
sthe watches they tried in Europe
and America — until they adopted
the HOWARD.
. The HOWARD Watch is
the finest practical timepiece in the
world. Its special hard-tempered steel
balance cannot jolt out of true with the
roughest service. The HOWARD ad
justment is permanent.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
—$40 to £ 150—and a printed price-ticket
attached.
\ We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. v
