“Old Man Alaska”
Is Issued Again
By Menager
Father Francis M. Menager,
head of the Catholic Mission
Church at Kotzebue, who arrived
in Nome from Pilgrim Springs,
after sometime spent there in re
treat, has again issued a series of
postcards of "Old Man Alaska”,
that caricature depicting the Ter
ritory as a human hear, with Si
beria representing a Polar bear.
This is the third issue of this
series. The humorous drawing
in which different points in Al
aska are made to represent fea
tures of the head, and yet retain
the general outline of the Terri
tory, contains the names of many
additional towns and points of in
terest. Along one side of the post
card a legend includes many facts
and interesting information con
cerning the Territory.
In addition to tne postcard,
Father Msnager has issued a ser
ies of stamps for placing on en
velopes, advertising Alaska, be
ing small reproductions of the
original drawing.
When this novel postcard first
anpeared. three years ago, Father
Menager was surprised at the in
terest and demand for them.
Since then he has had thousands
upon thousands printed and still
the demand grows. Each year he
has added other features and in
formatin. until today it is as near
ly complete as such an idea could
be.
The idea has received such in
terest that a copy of this postcard
and stamp has been sent to Post
master General James A. Farley
suggesting that it be adopted as
the federal postal stamp for a
contemplated Alaska issue.
Father Menager is returning by
plane to Kotzebue as soon as wea
ther permits. In the meantime
numerous Nomeites are congrat
ulating him on his sopyrighted
card.
The Potter Studio, Nome, has
a supply of both, postcards and
stamps, where those interested
may purchase same,and use them
in your correspondence.
