ALASKA’S PER CAPITA LARGEST IN U. S.
South Carolina s per capita wealth is computed in
government statistics between $172 to $575; California's,
well over $600; New York at $681. Not bad at all when
one considers the millions of people living in those States.
How does Alaska stack up against these figures?
You’ll be surprised, brother! Listen and you shall
hear of submerged figures which should make the wel
kin ring.
The total value of imports into the Territory of
Alaska in 1930 reached the stupendous figure of $31,
313,291. This, remember, exclusive of trade within the
Territory, which can safely be placed at least half again
the above amount. Divide that aggregate by the num
ber of inhabitants of Alaska, some 59,000, according to
the last census, and Alaska shows a per capita mre than
$787!
Alaska, indeed, is a rich field for firms in the States,
the majority of whom take all, giving little in return
aside from their commodities, a vast majority of which
could be and should be produced in the Territory of
Alaska.
SAIL UNDER “OLD GLORY”
Kestore the American merchant marine to the
front rank in world shipping where it properly belongs
by engaging passage for your vacation abroad on ships
sailing under the Stars and Stripes.”
So reads an appeal of the Postoffice Department, is
sued through Assistant Postmaster General Glover. Ev
ery American contemplating a trip across the ocean
should patronize American vessels. Mr. Glover tells us i
why: < # !
“Ships of the American merchant marine stand
ready to take you to every part of the world and even
around it. Perhaps you do not know that your govern- i
ment is very largely interested in these American steam
ship lines. Uncle Sam is a partner to the extent of mil
lions of dollars through construction loans obtained from
the United States Shipping Board and mail contracts
awarded by the Postoffice Department, and one of the
main reasons for this partnership is to restore the
American merchant marine to the front rank in world
shipping where it properly belongs. It has held that
place before, and your government is bound to place it
there again.”
If Americans use our own merchant marine, the
ship-owners are not the only ones helped, Mr. Glover
points out, for, “from the man wiio carries your hag to
Cabin B-61 to the proud captain on the bridge,” he says,
“the man who toils in the field to raise the products
which go to grace the table in the main dining saloon;
the man away below the surface of the earth who brings
forth the black diamonds which go to drive the giant
leviathans of the sea, or the man who draws the oil from
yonder well in Oklahoma or Texas and which products
of toil are brought to the waiting ship by the man who
runs the train bringing them for the seaboard; the man
who packs and handles these American manufactured
products; the man who manufactures the paper carton
that carries the biscuits to the table; the mill that makes
the towel which hangs on the American manufacured
rack in your stateroom, as well as he who weaves the
sheet on the bed of that American manufactured mat
tress; and the very rope that drops into the water as!
your craft casts itself loose from adjacent dock to the
college boys' orchestra playing gaily on the deck, ‘Hail,
Hail, the Gang's All Here;' they are all American.”
Continuous advertising is a builder of business and
a creator of good will.
