Mr. Business Man — Look over your delivery equipment
and ask yourself if you'd be proud of your trucks if they
were parked in front of your home. If the least in doubt,
whether they create a favorable impression, drop in at the

Main Street, and look over the complete line of Chevrolet
Trucks and Commercial Cars—you’ll find the type that
suits your business perfectly. You'll find, too, that Chev

they are good looking.

It has been an acute problem dur
ing the winter, knowing what would
take place this spring as far as hous
ing conditions are concerned. What
is equally important, if not more so,
is the labor situation, which if flood
ed this spring with the arrival of
the first boats, will be a serious
detriment to recovery in Nome. The
statement by Mayor Swartz was
sent outside with the one object of
warning all newcomers what they
can expect if they persist in coming
to Nome without ample funds or
arrangements for work.
Following is the telegram:
