LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working* together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

ALL ARE READY

BENEATH LOADS OF HOLIDAY
GOODS *
Verily, “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” has
taken up his abode in Seward judged
by the efforts put forth by th mer
chants to serve the Yuletide trade and
bring within reach of all some suit
able remembrance for friend and
family.
And in. providing for this Christmas
is reflected the marked advancement
in Seward’s business houses in point
of up-to-dateness and completeness.
The days that might have been in the
past, when one was compelled to take
whatever was on hand without the
right of choice no longer exists—the
goods one would wish in the largest
city are here, and in such varieties
that no one need go away unable to
secure just the thing they had in mind
for a dear friend or a member of the
family.
This condition will be especially ad
vantageous to those living in less fav
ored communities, who need not send
outside for anything, but may either
select their Christmas gifts in person
or by mail order with the assurance
that if it is included in current mer
chandise it will be found in the Gate
way city.
Accentuating the general pride and
interest in the city is the steps taken
to bring each business establishment
up to date with the best fronts and
fixtures, affording a newness that one
might expect in larger cities, where
abundant electric light, costly fixtures
and elaborate fronts were imperative
essentials to competition.
One of the distinctive features
about the stocks carried by Seward
stores is that they are fresh and sel
ected to meet the most discriminat
ing taste. The fashionable woman of
New York would be agreeably sur
prised at her ability to secure her
latest fabrics and modes, while the
seeker of novelties has a selection to
choose from which gives him the wid
est range of expression in taste.
And the kiddies! Kris Kringle ap
pears to have been especially lured
to the precinct of Seward, and if he
delivered all the pretty things so dear
to the juvenile heart, it would take
the entire herd of Broad Pass reindeer
to draw his sleds.
"Shop early” has become a slogan
throughout the country, and should
be observed in Seward. By making
selections early, the pressure of last
minute labor is lifted from the mer
chants and clerks, while the boon ex
tends to the postoffice and the ex
pressmen—in fact, a little thought
fulness will prove beneficial to all.
The Christmas spirit promises to
be at its zenith this Yuletide, espe
cially because of the happy conditions
of everyone through employment,
good business and the general elation
which follows in the wake of pros
perity.
FIREMEN MEETING TONIGHT
Tonight at 8 o’clock the local fire
department will meet at its regular
monthly meeting. “Members who
have been absent at the last few
meeting better check up the number
of times they have missed connec
tions,” Chief Guest stated today “for
the by-laws are plain in emphasizing
the fact a member missing a certain
number of regular meetings is auto
matically dropped.” Besides, the
ghost walks.
The Gateway leads—others follow.
VALADE MAKING POSTERS
Artist Valade, king of poster paint
ers, is swinging a mean brush these
days it is reported. For three weeks
he has been engaged in designing
cartoons and layouts for large show
cards advertising the Annual Fire
man’s New Year Mask Ball and they
do say every card he has turned out
is a masterpiece.
