A tribute to The Great Land
on the Greatest "Alaska Day”
Soon the United States will be one-fifth
larger than ever before. Within the 586,400
square miles of the 49th state there is a
wealth of resources. But Alaska's greatest
resource is not its forests, minerals or its
wildlife. It is people... people like you.
From our experience dating back to 1885,
Standard has had many opportunities to see
the Alaskan spirit at work.
As a new era dawns for Alaska, we foresee
greater opportunities for the development
of new industries, homes, schools, roads...
pushing back frontiers.
Standard is proud that part of its own
"family” will also be citizens of the 49th
state. To them and to all Alaskans... our
heartiest congratulations and best wishes
on the greatest "Alaska Day.”
