THE ROCHESTER OF ALASKA
Because of the Seward General Hospital they are
beginning to refer to this city as the Rochester of
Alaska.” Rochester, Minnesota, as everybody knows,
is the home of the Mayo Brothers, internationally fa
mous physicians and surgeons. People from all over
the world go there for treatment.
We haven’t the Mayo Brothers here hut we have
Dr. A. D. Haverstock whose reputation as a marvelous
alleviator of human ills is constantly mounting.
People are coming to the Seward General Hospital
from all paiAs of Alaska because of the growing know
ledge that here you get excellent care and attention
under the charge of Supt. Miss E. J. Geijsbeek, as
well as expert medical and surgical skill of Dr. Haver
stock.
As the fame of the institution spreads, people are
cancelling trips to the Outside in order to go to this
hospital. Its as it should be. Every thing modern has
been provided and the results thus far achieved in
triumph over disease and physical disability have been
eminently successful.
(Continued from Page One)
After graduating as class orator from Packer s
Business College in 18-36 he became a traveling sales
man for the crockery business which his father and
brother Isidore had established in the basement of
Captain R, H. Mavey’s store then at 13th Street and
Sixth Avenue. The debts were gradually paid, the
crockery business grew with branch factories estab
lished in Europe.
Nathan and Isadore became members of the firm
of R. H. Maey & Co., eventually obtaining sole owner
ship. Several years later Nathan Straus and his broth
er bought an interest in the department store of Wech
sler & Abraham of Brooklyn, and the firm name was
changed to Abraham & Straus.
In addition to his philanthropies in America, Mr.
Straus made many contributions to areas devastated
by war and disaster. During the Spanish-American
War he sent a plant for manufacturing ice and cooling
water to Santieago for the use of the United States
troops; at the time of the earthquake in Italy in 1909
he dispatched a physician with clothing and medical
supplies for the sufferers in Naples; and during the
World War contributed to the relief of war orphans
by giving the proceeds from the sale of his private
yacht “Sisilina.”
Mr. Straus, who was a Hebrew, evinced keen inter
est in the Zionist movement in Palestine. After a trip
to the Holy Land he spent approximately a quarter of
a million dollars in establishing health centers in Jer
usalem to combat malaria and trachoma, and install
ing soup kitchens where 1,700 people were fed daily re
gardless of race or creed.
He was honored in connection with the Silver Ju
bilee of Greater New York in 1923 when he received
the largest number of votes for having in the preced
ing 25 years done more than any other citizen for the
benefit of the public.
Although political life always was open to Nathan
Straus he accepted little in that line. Once he was Dem
ocratic nominee for Mayor of New York, but was de
feated. He served as park commissioner and also as
president of the Board of Health, in the latter finding
inspiration for his campaign for saving babies.
Mr. Straus’ health was noticeably affected by the
Titanic disaster in 1912 when the lives of his brother
Isidore and his wife were lost. He retired from busi
ness soon afterward and devoted himself to philan
thropic work.
In 1875 Mr. Straus married Lina Gutherz at Mann
heim, Germany. Four children were born to them.
