Booth Space In Alaska
Market Week Selling Fast
Booth space for the second an
n u a 1 Alaska Market Week in
which manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers get together is going
fast, according to a report from
Gordon Costello, exhibits chair
man for the shows.
The Anchorage Show will be
held in the American Legion Log
Cabin February 25, 26, 27; the
Fairbanks Show’ in the Eagles
Hall March 3, 4’, and 5.
Costello, who as district sales
manager for Alaska Airlines,
spearheaded the drive in Oregon
to obtain certificated, scheduled
air service from Portland to Al
aska, stated that there are twenty
four exhibitors participating now
and predicted a complete sellout
of available space.
“The nation-wide interest we
have received in this enterprise
emphasizes the rapidly growing
importance of Alaska to business
men from all sections of the
country,” Costello added.
Types of merchandise on dis
play will, as last year, lean strong
ly towards building and mechani
cal lines. However, a wide variety
of consumer goods will be exhib
ited, including foodstuffs and kin
dred lines. Bob Deller, P.O. Box
581, Anchorage, is Alaska repres
entative for the Market Associa
tion.
When you make a snowball, the
pressure of your hands causes the
snowflakes, which are crystals of
ice, to melt at a few points where
they touch. After you let go, the
pressure is released and the water
refreezes, joining the crystals
tightly together.
I Truman Names
George F. Kennan

“Over two and a half years have
passed since you appointed me to

to have been of service to you in
the capacity of your ambassador.”

Right now there are an awful lot of kids in our armed
forces doing their job for defense.
But defense is our job, too, you know'. And the stability
of America depends on the individual financial strength
of every, one of us, gained through our U. S. Defense
Bonds or other forms of saving.
That1 s why our government is having this big Defense
Bond Drive. To give you an opportunity to build your
financial independence. And to contribute to the strength
of America! Remember, peace is for the strong.
So sign up to buy an extra bond. Do it through the Pay
roll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-A-Month
Plan where you bank. Then go on buying bonds regularlyl
Buy Defense Bonds every month.
Now they earn interest 10 years longer!
I

Don’t forget that bonds are now a
better buy than ever. Because now
every Series E Bond you cnvn can
automatically go on earning interest
every year for 20 years from date of
purchase instead of 10 as before! This
means that the bond you bought for
$18.75 can return you not just $25
—but as much as $33.33! A $37.50
bond pays $66.66. And so on. And
remember, bankers recommend De
fense Bonds as one of the safest forms
of investment.
There is no safer investment in the world today. ..
