PALFYS RETURN FROM TRIP
1 Looking in excellent health after i
a three months trip to the Outside,
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Palfy returned
' Friday morning via jet from Seattle.
Mr. and Mrs. Palfy made a trip
to Detroit and on their return,
stopped in California where Mr.
Palfy had an operation performed
at the University of California !
Medical Clinic.
j Palfy has been in the sheet metal
and plumbing business in both
Fairbanks and Nenana since 1912.
In the thirties, Palfy became an
owner of the Pioneer Brewing Com
pany on the banks of the Chena on
Garden Island. He acquired the
brewery as the heaviest creditor.
When the Army took over things !
in Fairbanks after Pearl Harbor,
Palfy dumped his beer into the
Chena River and rented the proper
ty to the government.
“We couldn’t get the ingredients
to make beer anyway—so I de
cided to go out of the beer busi
ness,” said Palfy.
The brewery had been shipped
to Fairbanks from Dawson, piece by
piece by boat. George Black had the
contract for bringing it here, where
it still stands and is now used as
a warehouse.
“We enjoyed our trip very much,
but it’s always good to be back
borne with our friends," said Mrs.
Palfy.
