HOME CITY BUILDERS
In every city you will find a number of city builders
who are not appreciated as they should be.
Few people seem to realize the difficulties surmounted,
the hardships encountered- and discouragements overcome
and mastered by these city builders in making the home city
a better place in which to live and prosper.
The aim of these men has been to make the home city
the utmost obtainable in beauty, durability, economy, sani

money can buy do not always bring prosperity. Real pro
gress can be found only in cities that are not only made into
good cities in which to live, but good cities in which to make
a living. ,
Cities are built—they do not grow unaided.

Literally millions are moving in a stream through such

ments from the Fall cleanups following the intensive opera
tions in placer and quartz mines.
The numerous camps are pouring out their streams of
the .golden wealth—concentrating as they move down the
main coastal route of commerce into Seattle like one great
river of gold. Into this main artery flows the gold of the
camps immediately tributary to Anchorage—Willow, Val
dez Creek, Kuskokwim, the Iditarod, Flat, Cache Creek,
Good News Bay, Bear Creek, Hope and other Kenai Penin
sula points. Then comes the huge volume from the Fair
banks camp, and the lesser camps of the Yukon Basin—
Ruby, Poorman, Koyukuk, Marshall and others. From the

WE SOLICIT YOUR ACCOUNT
The Bolcom-Canal Lumber Co.
.... Is proud to have been ready, willing and able to, have
furnished lumber and other building materials for the re
building of Nome.
.... This great shipment was in the process of loading within
36 hours after the first news of the fire reached Seattle.
Such a large variety and quantity could have been as
sembled by only the largest mills in Washington. Our pride
in this achievement is excelled only by our happiness by the
fact that we have been, able to save thousands of dollars
for our customers in their rebuilding, on account of our ex
tremely low prices. We have furnished some materials for
nearly every building started since the fire and many their
entire requirements. It is our desire and hope to remain
permanently in Nome and this1 ambition can only be realized
by your orders which will be our pleasure and receive our
best attention.
