Something Added. Something Gone
In Late Frontiersman issues
Blank pages and no
stamps -- the two la
test innovations in
publication of The
Frontiersman •
The cause of the
first -- the paper
shortage. And it
happens to the best
of newspapers, so why
not The Frontiersman?
That six months1 sup
ply of paper, so
proudly boasted on
the front page just a
few short issues ago,
diminished and melted
into nothing in the
space of weeks.
The four cartons
of paper, so confi

last until June,
proved upon closer
examination to be

front pages and only
one of pages three,

un a manua slock,
which is, in fact,
true newsprint. More
of this paper is on
order from Anchorage
and should arrive
long before the exis
ting supply is ex
hausted.
So, until Alaska’s
depleted stock of pa
per can again be
built back to normal,
The Frontiersman will
continue to appear
with a clean white
front and an un
bleached interior.
However, continue to
appear it will, and
as soon as white pa

market, The Frontier

again.
