The Skagway Commercial Club is
making active efforts to secure stop
over tourists for this town next year
and for the years to come. The fol
lowing letter from Herman Weig.
i''ral agent for the White Pass &
Yukon road in Chicago, was recently
received by Secretary E. L. Miller. I
Dear Sir: ?
I duly received yours of the 21st |
ult.. and am very glad to note thoi
work your organization proposes do
ing in connection with exploiting Ska
way as a summer resort. There is
no question at all In my mind that if 1
the people knew what a delightful
place Skagway is to stop over in.
nearly all the tourists now taking
the Southeastern Alaska trip would
stop off at least for another steamer, j
We shall certainly be glad to co-oper
ate with you all we can. You havej
probably seen the new booklet which ?
we got out this year. "Alaska along
the shores and beyond." In the same '
we quote from Mrs. Ella Hlgglnson'sJ
new book "Alaska The Great Coun- j
try," in so far as It relates to the
trip from Skagway. I enclose one of
these booklets herewith, and you will
j set' that opposite the picture of the
j Cantilever Bridge, Mrs. Hlgginson is
I quoted as saying "On all the Pacific
[Coast there is not a more interesting
: or a more profitable place in which
j to make one's headquarters for the
summer, than Skngway." Then it
goes on to tell of the side trips that
can be made from there. In the
great amount of correspondence we
have carried on from this and our
other offices we have endeavored to
bring this fact before the Alaska Tou ?
1st public.
We received over 2,000 inquiries in
response to our magazine advertising,
for information regarding the trip to
Alaska, Atlin and W'hitehorse, and I
shall be glad to send you a type writ
ten vopy of the naniej and addr -s.'R
ol tnesc people.
Trusting that your organization may;
meet with the greatest measure of
success, I am. etc.
When the advertising material is
prepared for the club it will be malie
to the addresses furnished by Mr.
Weig. In this way a percentage of
tourists are certain to be attracted
here.
