Every now an d then we pick t p a
paper and read that Anchorage has 'an
ded a new plum of some description;
and in a short time almost every town
in the Territory sets up a howl of pro
test over the "greediness” of the rt.il
road town According to our way of
thinking’ no one has a "kick" coming,
If Anchorage can sell herself to Wash
ington and to investors, above othe~
commnnities competing with her she
is to be complimented on her success
ful salesmanship. She is merely apply
lying the tactics of a hustler in the
selling game. She has everything neces
sary to land the prospect: a firm beliei
in herself and the goods she is selling
the ability to display her wares to the
best advantage, and a selling talk that
hypnotizes the buyer into putting his
signature on the dotted line. She knows
that competition is keen, and she is pre
pared to meet it. Some of the towns
in the Territory remind us of the ’’drum
mer" of bygone years who came to
town, called on his customer, and ask
ed him what he wanted SJe didn’t
need to know anything about salemaii
ship; he was secure in the knowledge
that if he didn,t make the sale no one
would, as he was alone in the field.

Perhaps it is to be deplored th.it
modern business is so invading Alaska
as to make it necessa; y to be as alert
as if we were outside, as the country
will undoubtedly lose ’that typically
Alaskan air.’’ but such is the case.
Anchorage, being the newest laige town
in tfu Territory, naturally has business
men with the most modern methods
of handling their own and the com
munity’s affairs. The result is that
Anchorage makes the biggest impress
ion on those in the states who are inter
ested in Alaska. Instead of nursing a
grouch againt the ,’up and coming”
metropolis, let us simulate her methods
let us tell the world about the advan
tages of Our Town, let us stick togeth
er in our individual communities; and
by so doing, build up not only a Bigger
and Better t own; but also a BIGGER
and BETTER ALASKA.
The boat train today brought
about thirty passengers for Ken
necott and a few for here.
