Siberian export trade, the Silurians ate in every way agreeable to the ide:
Nome and Siberia. At the present : :o • the approximately fitly thousnn.
' lose to a thousand miles The difference in distance alone* is an im
n.ense incentive to the Siberians to (.ring their Made here. In addition
there* is the* added incentive of cheaper prices, shorter waits and wider range
Nome is a logical market for all of that vast area lying north of Fame hatkr
let them g t into c lose touc h and there is hardl> a doubt that the bulk of th<
Siberian trade* will soon be diverted to Nome*, with resultant benefits t
both the Siberians and ourselves. ✓

“And my
GOODRICH Shoes
outwore Six pairs of his”
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
years—and just back in the States. He
was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
Goodrich “Hi*Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those arc some shoes you people make.
Why, I remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
There’s the result ^ of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And #
they’re comfortable—feel like old shoes
before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros
pecting, etc. They always have “The Red
Line ‘Round The Top.”
