Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Your mail will soon be coming to
Anchorage covered with the familiar
Red Cross Christmas seal and you
will know that some one has respond
ed to the prompting of their own gen
erous spirit and the solicitations of
the army of workers that are each
season offering for sale in the stores
and bank offices and on the street cor
ners all over the United States these
seals that are the emblem of concern
for the welfare and betterment of
those hundreds of thousands who so
need all the help that can be given
them, and in this year when prosper
ity has so richly blessed this country
it is expected that the sale of these
little stamp seals will far exceed that
of any year previous.
There was manufactured this year
in Cincinnati three hundred million of
these seals for the annual holiday cam
paign to be conducted under the joint
auspices of the American Red Cross
and National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Although in 1915 the sale reached
the record total of 80,000,000 seals,
bringing in $800,000, it is expected
that this year at least 100,000,000 or
$1,000,000 worth, will be sold. The
sale will be organized from Alaska to
the Canal Zone and from Hawaii to
Porto Rico. Every state and territory
in the United States will have seals
'for sale and rich and poor alike will
buy them and help to bring aid to the
tubercular who are unable to help
themselves.
The Red Cross Christmas seals for
1916 was designed by Mr. T. M. Cle
land of New York City, and shows a
Santa Claus in red on a green back
ground in the center panel and a pack
on his back bearing a red cross. The
lettering, “A Merry Christmas and A
Happy New Year” is carried vertically
up and down the sides of the seal,
while the date and the words, “Ameri
can Red Cross,” are across the bot
tom of the seal. The poster effect of
this seal is very striking and makes
an unusually handsome design.
There is something about the sale
of these seals that is unlike the sell
ing of tickets to a home talent show
or a bazaar in that you. will find that
the various charitable organization >
members are more willing to offer
their services for this cause than any.
other, in fact workers tell me that
they have almost no trouble at all to
get plenty of salesladies, for the sim-j
pie reason that they enjoy the work, j
You will notice how the members of
the Volunteers of America and the
Salvation Army stand for days and |
days in the cold street beside their
kettle and continually ring their bell
and listen to the clink of the coins as j
they rattle through the little screen
top and you wonder sometimes how
cold they must be, but they find com- j
fort in it because they are intensely
interested in the result.
How much more, then must be the!
interest of the seller of the seals when ;
the money they get is to carry on the i
work of relieving the suffering of the;
sick and to find ways' and means to j
effect a permanent cure for the little!
crooked backs and bring color to the j
pale cheeks of the anemic child. Sure-!
ly no easier way could be devised to j
raise a million dollars from a hun
dred million people and the response;
should be generous in the extreme.
By all means buy the seals.

AFTER THE 15th OF JANUARY tN
I take pleasure in informing the'public of Anchorage that the object of closing
out the stock in my present location is to get rid of as much of this merchandise as
! possible to enable me to take over the business and stock of the Palace'Clothing Com
pany opposite the Harmony Theatre... It is my intention and purpose to stay in An
chorage, but the sale of the location in which I am now located, makes this change
imperative.
