Attention Alaskans!
SEND SAMPLES AND PRICE
Anyone, or any group of Alaskans, who can assure quantities of
Alaskan commodities suitable for export purposes, are asked to get
in touch with the undersigned.
There is a tremendous market awaiting Alaskan products in the
Orient and it is the ambition of Mr. Kawabe to have, within the next
few years, such a business underway. He believes it will require that
length of tune before the necessary tonnage of 1,000 tons per ship
ment from the Fori of Seward, can be assured.
Numerous local inquiries have been directed to Mr. Kawabe as to
just what his plan was; it appears his first announcement which has
been appearing in The Gateway for the last week, was not quite
dear. Briefly, Mr. Kawabe desires samples of Alaskan products—any
kind which may be produced in quantity; the samples must be ac
companied by the lowest figure which the item can be supplied. Both
the sample, be it various grades of salt fish, grains, kelp, coal, etc.,
will be forwarded to the Orient where agents will endeavor to find
a demand. If there is a market for certain of these samples and the
price is satisfactory, orders will be sent Mr. Kaw'abe and it will be
up to him fill it.
The skeptical will no doubt say there isn't a chance to develop
such an export trade from Aalska but not only Mr. Kawabe and
others connected with him locally, but prominent Japanese officials
are greatly enthused over his proposed plan. Believing that unless
Alaskans themselves develop the Territory’s resources, 20 years from
now, or more, will see but little progress, is the thought behind Mr.
Kawabe’s entire plan. He is looking toward the industrial Alaska of
the future. He is visioning a bigger and better Alaska for alL
