Alaskans Winners In
National Fur Contest
Eight Alaskans were includ
ed among the winners of the
Fourth National Fur Show of
Sears, Roebuck & Co. for 1933.
one of them, Rasmus Hansen,
of Diamond, Alaska, being the
winner of che fourth prize of
$50. Other Alaskan winners
were Mr*s. C. R. Bell of Kake;
A1 Lindberg, of Wrangell;
Warren I. Nutter, of Seward,
Gunnar Ohman, Ketchikan,
Mrs. Chris Steak, Ninilchik; G.
R. Walberg, Wrangell, and
Pearl Ross, Tebenof Bay.
The awards in the Sears,
Roebuck contests are made
solely on the basis of the care
shown in the preparation of
the pelts for marketing and in
dependent of the sale value of
the fur. A common coon or
muskrat skin has an equal
chance with the finest beaver
if showing equal care in prep
aration. The Sears, Roebuck
company points out that mill
ions of dollars are wasted an
nually through careless and in
correct fur preparation. To
stimulate the trapper toward
handling pelts more carefully,
the company have for several
years awarded thousands of
dollars annually for skillful
handling of raw furs, in addit
ion to paying the highest mark
et prices for furs received by
them. The prizes for the 1933
contest include two standard
Plymouth six sedan cars, in ad
dition to cash prizes ranging
from $750 to $5.
