GOLD DIGGERS VISIT
HERE FROM KODIAK
Some visitors who come to our
community are satisfied to take a
few rolls of film as a record of
a most memorable trip, but oc
casionally there are others who
try to crowd into their limited
visiting time just about everything
that the pioneers did in the old
gold rush days.
Two such visitors were a vi
vacious pair of gray-haired east
erners from Kodiak. Mrs. E. L.
Koch, wife of Commander Koch,
and Mrs. J.K.B. Ginder, wife of
Commander Ginder, who believe
that gold is where you find it.
They decided that anyone who
comes to Nome must get a hand
ful of that famous gold dust which
lays on the beach waiting to be
picked up.
Escorted by Fred Rohn as guide

No doubt about it—you’ll make a
mighty handsome picture in a
strapping new ’51 Buick.
But it isn’t the way you look, but the
way you feel that’s really important.
We ’d like you to discover a Buick’s
ease and comfort, a Buick’s power and
performance, a Buick’s steadiness and
control—just to see if maybe you have
been missing a travel treat.
We’d like you to discover what a valve
in-head engine, as Buick builds it—
gingered with Fireball combustion
—can mean in pulse-pounding thrill
and in big miles-per-gallon figures.
We’d like you to learn what coil springs
on all four wheels—not just in front
can do in the matter of smoothing a
rough road and keeping you on an
ever-level keel.
We’d like you to see what generous
roadweight and a rigid torque-tube
mean in solid steadiness of ride—what
Dynaflow Drive* does for you in
downright comfort and convenience—
what a breeze it is to handle so big and
roomy and impressive a car. *
Most of all, we’d like you to note the
*
easy-to-take price tags our cars wear—
what a whale of a lot more automobile
you get for your money in today’s
Buicks than you’ll get elsewhere. ’
So—come in for a sitting soon, won’t
you? Whether you try a Special,
Super or Roadmaster, you’ll find it
the top buy in its field and a beauty
from any angle.
