DANIELS — In The Lion's Den
Guests from all over the Territory of Alaska, and many from
Outside, will pour into the Valley this week-end to visit the ninth
annual Matanuska Valley Fair. Hotels and rooming houses already
have hooked reservations solidly for the three-day Fair period.
Your Fair management has made every possible preparation
for the reception and entertainment of these out-of-Valley guests.
We look forward to their coming. It is our hope that they will leave
our Fair and the Matanuska Valley with pleasant memories of an
enjoyable and entertaining three days.
Yet, however much the Fair management looks forward to the
coming of these visitors, it will be impossible for the few members
of the Fair board to meet and greet them all. It’s a job they ask
that you share with them.
It is their request that every Valley resident assume the re
sponsibilities of host during the Fair week-end. Help us make our
visitors welcome and their stay a pleasant one.
Greet and talk with the strangers who come to share our Fair.
Give some attention to the small problems they will encounter
here. Give them the courtesy and consideration that you would
extend a guest in your home.
It is our job to make these visitors want to come back again
and again. We can do it only with the help of everyone. The pri
mary purpose of our Fair is the creation of good will, which we
can achieve only in proportion to the amount of good will we put
into making our guests happy and satisfied.
For this three-day week-end, let's all wear company manners.
Both ourselves and our guests will enjoy the result.
