DO YOUR SHARE
Any doubt that local merchants have about the value
of advertising should be set aside by the following tribute
from Antone Johansen, enterprising merchant of Seldovia.
For some time after starting in business Johansen did not
advertise. There is no paper in Seldovia and everyone
there knows everyone lese. But Johansen was advised that
there might be people coming to Seldovia who did not
know him and it might pay to let the outside world know
he had goods to sell.
He tried the experiment and the very first advertise
ment netted him 3000 per cent., the profit on a big sale of
goods made through the buyer seeing that advertisement,
amounting to thirty times its cost.
That was some time ago, but we have just heard about
it and we are just as pleased as Johansen. In fact, noth
ing pleases us better than to realize that our advertisers
are getting results for their money.
Another thing which should be considered is that 1’he
Seward Gateway is one of the best assets possessed by this
town and that the very good it has done in publicity chan
nels up and down the coast and throughout the East was a
direct result of the money paid by the advertisers who sup
port it. Those who are gaining through this publicity with
out contributing their fair share are the slackers in our
midst.

ALASKA TO BREAK TRUSTS
Alaska is now probably about to be one of the most
useful assets to Uncle Sam in war time. The coal of the
territory can be used to prevent famine prices in the states
if necessary and the timber in the forest reserves may be

the most potent weapon in the government’s hands to
smash the print paper combine. In the dispatches last
Wednesday appeared one which showed that the National I
Editorial Association has urged the government to take,
over and operate the paper mills all over the country. It is
probable that the Association was unaware of the fact that;
the government is now cruising for pulp timber in this di
y ision of Alaska and that it may be the first step to make
unnecessary the taking over of the mills or their oper
ation by the government. All that will be necessary is fori
the government to establish its own mills here in Alaska
and keep the price of paper at a proper level. The govern
ment has timber of its own and will, therfore, be saved
from the expense of purchasing it, a tremendous advan
tage over the private manufacturers.
It would he an extraordinary destiny for Alaska, and
one that may come quickly, to have it the government
storehouse of the materials to fight the trusts if they darej
to continue to hamper the conduct of the war by main
taining prices calculated to inflict general hardship.
The western part of Alaska has all the coal the world
could use and Southeastern Alaska has all the pulp wood I
! and airplane wood for all the nations—Juneau Dispatch.
