DIARY ...
One of oar local businessmen,
who has spent some time in Se
attle, recently ordered some new
' postwar products from a sales
man calling on him here.
; The company making the of
ferings is m Seattle, and the busi
nessman has purchased many
things there—in fact has been in
the place so much that he is
greeted therein by his first name.
But when this order went to
Seattle, back came a reply—the
company was glad to get the or
der, they didn’t “know’’ the per
son ordering it, so please send a
check for 11000, and they would
take good care of said sum (our
words, not theirs) for 60 or 90
days until the stuff becomes a
vailable.
Our local businessman didn t
like the reflection on his ciedit,
didn’t like the idea of financing
some Seattle firm for 60 or 90
days (at least helping to) and
didn’t like fhe letter.
It is things like that, he point
ed out, that tempt one to buy
from other than Seattle firms,
, that makes one wish other than
Seattle might be an air gateway
to Alaska, that makes one won
der if Seattle firms think they
can get by with such practices
just because (we quote Seattle)
“it is Seattle’s historical right to
be the gateway to Alaska.”
| We gatheied that our local
businessman is not going to send
the thousand dollars.
j The Victory ShipS S. Kodiak,
which was launched in Portland,
Oregon, Dec. 19, 1944, got a
rouna a bit before the end of the
war, according to information
received from theU. S. Maritime
Commission by Mrs. Emil Knud
sen, the ship’s sponsor.
Carrying war cargoes vital to
the needs of the Army and Navy,
the good ship Kodiak visited As
toria, Frisco, Eniwetok, Saipan,
Pearl Harbor, Eniwetok, Saipan,
Iwo Jima, Eniwetok, Fusco, Port
Townsend, Seattle, Port Angeles,
Eniwetok, Ulithi—and when the
war was over, it was at anchor at
Okinawa (After looking at the
list we don’t see how it missed
being at Kmwetok at that time,
it visited there so much.)
The Kodiak Victory is the ves
> sel with the huge half-moun'ed
Kodiak bear as a mascot from
the city of Kodiak, and for an
island animal it did do some is
land-hopping—but we hate to
think how those South Pacific
isles suffered by comparison.
Now if the Kodiak Victory
could just visit Kodiak, it’s des
tiny would be complete. If the
vessel is declared surplus it
should sell easier than other Vic
tory models, considering half a
bear is at least twice as good as
none. Why doesn’t Alaska
Steamship look into it?
Those Aleutian Candies made
by the local candy company are
getting around.
The Kodiak Fountain, which
sells the candy by mail, adver
tises it in the Alaska Soortsman.
