Glen Carrington was a caller in Palmer
this week and visi'ted the various depart
ments of the Co-op. He expressed great
satisfaction with business'dealings with
the Co-op in the last year, with his film,
"Chile the outlook for more tractors,trucks
and pickups'is not too encouraging for the
coning year, he assured us that we were '
one of the preferred customers in Alaska,
and that we would get as many as could
possibly be found. Mr. Carrington stated
that he had visited the Territory every
year -ith one or two exceptions for a per
iod of so many years that We won’t tell.
It night give his age away.
Another wholesale route has been establish
ed in Anchorage and the Fort, for the de
livery of milk and ice cream. This makes
three routes in all and the only thing
that'is holding us back is a shortage of
milk. Probably the cows in the Valley
will give a little more milk this summer,
but the prospects' for noxt winter"are not
very good for an increased supply. Eggs
are novin in good shape again', despite
C:madian and other competition. Last
week’s Editorial should be read by all
Egg - reducers. It contains much good ad
vice on the proper methods of producing
and handl ing eggs.
All of the Bids presented by June 1st on
the three houses that were up for Sale
were rejected by the Board. Trie hoard
felt that the bids were too lor.
By release of the Secretary of the
I'.7.j’.C.A. Board.

To date Neal j-ht has not arrived in
Palmer, but he is expected at any tine.
Hie vacation has been cut extren'ely short,
as he left here about the middle of ’.lay
enroute to I’oxico.
During the past year Hr. Hright has in
vested a great deal of money in the addi
tion of the new concrete structure to the
former building which has been thero since
1935. The nerr part included a modern and
attractive Fountain Service, a Drug dis
pensery room and a large display foom for
his many electrical appliances. Offices
occupied the upper floor.
Th: vholo store ras nell stocked .and no
estimate is available at this time as to
vhat the loss is. The $175,000 reported
loss could hardly cover more than the ‘
building, according to local estimates.
