Reindeer For
Santa’s Workshop
Arrive In Nome
Ten reindeer were brought to
Nome Tuesday by plane from Gol
ovin by pilot Cyril Seeds. The
reindeer were herded and loaded
into the plane by the Eskimos from
whom they were purchased for
Santa’s Workshop in Detroit. At
Nome the reindeer will be put in
crates for the long journey by air
from Nome to Detroit, Michigan.
Ed. Butters, for whom the rein
deer are being transported, has
been in Nome the past two weeks
attempting to round up ten rein
deer which will be on exhibition
in a Santa’s Workshop planned by
the Ford Motor Company for the
Christmas season.
Butters, who hails from Cold
water, Michigan, raises animals
for exhibition and has the largest
herd of buffalo east of the Missis
sippi. A special Alaska Airlines
plane has been chartered to carry
the reindeer from Nome to Seattle,
It Pays To Advertise
CHICAGO, </P) — There was
something different about the
young hitchhiker who stood on
the edge of the stream of south
bound traffic. He used neither
voice nor thumb. Instead, he held
up a large cardboard sign. It read:
“Outer Drive and Grand Ave.?“
and United Airlines will take them
! on to Detroit, where Butters will
attempt to raise and adapt them
to new conditions.
The Santa’s Workshop for which
the reindeer are to be used pri
marily, will be housed in a spe
cial refrigerated building made al
most entirely of glass and the
reindeer will be penned off from
the public by glass walls. The
building is located near the fa
mous Ford Rotunda which was
moved to Detroit from the site of
the World’s Fairgrounds at Chi
cago.
The permit granted to Mr. But
ters is the first in more than twen
j ty years allowing live reindeer to
be taken out of Alaska.
