WHY “BEST KNOWN” ADVERTISE
Every once in a while we run across the argument
. that Nome’s business concerns do not need advertising
in the local newspaper because “everybody knows
about their business.”
This is an idea that no argument can erase from the
mind of a business man who has convinced himself that
he is too well known to need advertising to remind peo
ple of what he has ,to sell. To business men with such
ideas, we call attention to the fact that the Coca-Cola
Company, for many years, expended an average of
$2 million a year on advertising. There are few things
in the nation better known than this popular drink. If
it is worth millions of dollars to advertise it, there must
be something in advertising to produce sales.
As another example, let the business man look
through the advertising pages of our popular maga
zines. What he will see is a constant repetition of ad
vertising appeals by firms selling products that are
known in almost every household. The non-advertising
merchant might ask himself why these people “threw
their money away” on advertising.
Viscount Montgomery, British Field Marshall:
“In the long run, an army that marches without
divine approval, marches in vain.”
Robert A. Taft, U.S. Senator from Ohio:
“I don’t believe we want to go into a near-war
status as a permanent thing unless it is forced on us.”
George C. Marshal, Secretary of Defense:
“No man is wise enough to know how long the
present emergency will last.”
Vannevar Bush, atomic scientist:
“If total war ever comes again, it will break
suddenly.”
Koca Popovic, Chief of Staff, Yugoslav Army:
“No power which strives to conquer the world can
prove itself invincible.”
Moea Pilate, political adviser to Marshal Tito:
“If the people of the world are prepared to fight
aggression, they are going to do it without any written
or oral pact.”
AN EPIDEMIC WE HOPE WILL SPREAD
Sec. of Treasurey
Asks Tax Increase
WASHINGTON, </P) — Secre
tary of the Treasury Snyder to
day called for prompt action on
the administration's $10 billion
“first round” tax increase propos
al, but said a “second round’'
boost can be postponed until next
year in view of a vastly improved
budget situation.
Revealing new official budget
estimates, Snyder told the house
Ways and Means Committee that:
1. This fiscal year, which ends
next June 30, should produce < a
surplus of about $3 billion in con
trast to the $2,700,000,000 deficit
President Truman forecast in Jan
uary. ,
2. Tax revenues next fiscal year,
which starts July 1, should be
about $3 billion above the Jan
uary forecast, indicating that the
| previous deficit prediction of $16,
I 500,000,000 will be no more than
i $13,500,000,000.
It was this extraordinary im
provement which prompted the
Treasury secretary to abandon the
Administration’s earlier demand
for a second round $6,500,000,000
tax hike in 1051.
Snyder declared:
“The prudent course now is the
prompt enactment of the tax rate
increases already recommended by
the president. . . .
“My considered judgment can
be stated briefly: defense expend
itures will increase so rapidly in
the period ahead that the Treas
ury’s present budgetary surplus
will disappear quickly.”
J. J, Wheeler, who has been
employed by the Northern Light
and Power Co. and a resident of
Nome for many years, passed
away this morning after a short
illness. He is survived by his wife
and nine children.

How to Eliminate
Button Sewing Problems
-ftr-—rir-T-T'HfHTiTruiMMW——•
■MtynraiT-ri .-a—..aKswr^tannwww
Every housewife is familiar
with the family “mending basket"
and its usually bulging contents.
Even though one special evening
is set aside for clothing repair it
just seems to accumulate in leaps
and bounds. Broken or missing
buttons and torn buttonholes are
the most time-consuming tasks of
all, but today’s clever housewife
can eliminate these mending prob
lems by selecting garments with
Gripper Fasteners. These all
metal fasteners replace old-time
button closures and are completely
laundry and rustproof.
Metal snap fasteners can be
found in clothing for the entire
family. For comfort and conveni
ence today’s male shopper prefers
the new improved boxer shorts
with Gripper Fasteners, over the
continuous waistband type. House
wives find that these shorts for
dad and brother rarely turn up in
their work baskets as the elastic
lasts longer and there are no but
tons to replace. “Common sense"
shorts need not be commonplace,
however, as they now come in
novelty plaids and prints.
Gripper Fasteners in house
dresses and children’s play clothes
make an ideal closure as they snap
easily and whisk open in a hurry.
Heavy outdoor togs and rain gar
ments for children take plenty of
rough wear and metal snap fasten
ers provide the durable closure
necessary.
The Scovill Manufacturing Com
pany recently designed many dec
orative tops for their Grippejrg^.
They are being featured in cordu
roy separates for campus wear,
gay colored denims for casual and
sport use and misses’ woolen
skirts and weskits.
Items from babies’ wardrobes
always seem to have tiny buttons
and loops missing, but mother’s
problems are solved here, too.
Creeper suits, overalls, sacks and
snow suits now have small-sized
fasteners with pastel colored tops.
Even diapers feature these clo
sures which do away with danger
ous pins and come in pale baby
shades. Some manufacturers have
designed new type cotton suits and
shirts for children. Grippers make
it possible to open them completely
flat on the ironing board to save
precious minutes of pressing time.

World in Danger
If France Falls
Says Aurol
WASHINGTON, (/P)—:President
Vincent Auriol of France told
Congress today that if his country
falls before the forces of aggres
sion “the whole world, indefdti
civilization itself, will be in mor
tal danger.”
Addressing a special Senate
House session, he said to prevent
such a disaster the west must
base its defense strategy on
‘shielding’ western Europe against
attack.
The alternative, he said, is to
“liberate a Europe which may
once more be occupied, enslaved,
exploited and ravaged and whose
name, you may be sure, would
only recall the final ruin of a civi
lization.”
