SOLDIERS TAKE
TIRE & WHEEL

At Home in Any Alaska Port
iHE red-white-and-black banner of the Alaska
Steamship Company is a familiar sight in all
Alaska ports — from Ketchikan to Kotzebue. It
has become almost as representative of the Ter
ritory as the famous Alaskan totem pole.
While the totem pole represents the tradition
and colorful past of the Territory, the Alaska
Steamship Company flag symbolizes the chal
lenging possibilities of the future.
This flag is the symbol of the Territory’s
future because it represents the water transpor
tation so essential to Alaska’* continuing growth
and development and the realization of its great
potentialities. The Alaska Line is working with
the people of the Territory by bringing them
the tools, supplies and equipment they need to
fashion sound agricultural, industrial and com
mercial enterprises from Alaska’s vast resource*.
By devoting its organization and facilities to
the job of providing Alaska with the best freight
and passenger service possible, the Alaska Steam
ship Company is an active “partner” in building
a sound and thriving Territorial economy.
