GEORGE GOSHAW ISSUES
ALASKA DEFENSE STICKER
From Shishmaref, that little
island in the Bering Sea. comes an
interesting sticker designed by
the well-known trader and owner
of the only fox farmintheArctic,
George Goshaw. On a coppery
colored map of Alaska is em
blazened the slogan, “The open
front door of the continent.”
“Billions for defense of Western
Europe” “ Coppers for the defense
of Alaska.”
It takes old time Alaskans who
blazed the trails fifty years ago
into the far north to sense the im
portance of the defense of the
coast of the Territory!
