READ THIS BOOK
Following its recent issue there has been fulsome
praise in the Alaska press of the book “Alaska” issued by
Lester D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education for the
Territory. After hurried but avid reading the Seward
Gateway is willing to join the hymn of rejoicing for one
of the best compilations on the scenic features, geography,
history and government of Alaska that has yet been pro
duced.
The publication is a magazine in linear dimensions
and thickness but it carries snappy pictures on every page
with illuminating comment by the editor. Descriptive
matter has been carefully collated and is so written that
one can get a quick and sound idea of any portion of
Alaska he may be especially interested in. The Daily Em
pire plant of Juneau which printed the booklet is entitled
to great credit for the excellent typographical work.
It is safe to assert that Mr. Henderson has gotten to
gether one of the finest and most remarkable set of pic-!
tures ever printed on Alaska. They cover the whole field
in such comprehensive manner that the book should be a
joy and inspiration to the dyed-in-the-wool Sourdough
who will learn things he never dreamed of in his beloved
Territory. To the visitor from other lands this publica
tion will furnish the quickest and most comprehensive *
compendium on the scenic beauties and the profound in
dustrial possibilities of Alaska that has yet been publish- |t
ed.

like an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you've
driven a Buick for 1928.
