BUY “MADE IN ALASKA” PRODUCTS
t
Printers ink in Alaska should unite in boosting Ter
ritorial industries; drive home this message that when
ever possible, purchase those articles 'made in Alaska.’’
This, at the present time, would include lumber, agricul
tural products, candies, soft drinks, jams and jellies, coal,
and numerous items that cannot be recalled at this time.
The answer should be perfectly plain to everyone if this
policy were pursued. Local and Territorial industries
means immediate development of Alaska. The money will!
stay at home. More steady work and payrolls will be creat-j
ed. Alaska would be building concretely from within,
Printers ink can do much to wipe out and buck cer
tain Outside competition. First, last and all the time mer
chandise manufactured in Alaska should purchased by
Alaskans. The salvation of Alaska depends on its citizens.
And if Alaskans will not help themselves how in hades can
you expect outsiders to do it.
This editorial is especially directed to not onlv con
sumers, but to dealers. It is doubtful if we ever will stop
the mail order bligiht but we can do much toward back
ing up local and Territorial industries. Buy your soda
pop, lumber, agricultural products in Alaska from Alas
kans. And not just once but all the time. Let’s get out of
w-.c1 lijit we are in and arrive somewhere.
Expenses seldom fail to come up to expectations.

IEITTLE SPIRIT SS
One of the sights of Se-ward is
Steve Melchior’s moose. Sunday when
the Seattle excursion visited the fail
city of Seward a bunch of the visitors
decided they wanted to see the moose.
Steve laid a trap.
After giving the moose the “once
over” the men prepared to depart, so
Steve, talking right out in his usual
blunt manner, said, “Gentlemen, cross
the palm”. One of the party answer,
nd, “Will 10 cents each be sufficient?”
Said Steve, “Not today mister. Ever
since the days of ’98 Alaska has been
giving Seattle a dollar and in propor.
tion go'>t 10 cent back. Is that what
you call the Seattle spirit?” »
So they left Steve a dollar, the five
of them, shook hands all around, and
left smiling.
