Dear Editor:
We received more than 200
pieces of mail as a result of
the story you released about
our search for 3 missing stock
holder. About 50 pieces of the
mail furnished information
about these people with the
result that we have already lo
cated John Hogue Reed—for
merly of Anchorage and right
now operating t h e Reed’s
Hardware Store in Palmer.
Several leads about the
other two will be checked to
a conclusion and we will in
form you when each is found.
The balance of the mail,
about 150 pieces, was from
your readers who had found
old and yellowed stock certifi
cates lying around their homes
and they have asked us to
check our voluminous records
to see if their old shares have
a current value.
We would like to thank you
for your good public service
in printing our story, and we
can certainly attest to the re
sults your newspaper gives.

♦ Dear Fellow Alaskans:
No doubt you will agree
with me that my first duty

September. As the sessior
draws to a close and the
legislative pressures in
crease, pending matters ol
importance to Alaska will
require my constant atten
tion.
With this as my reason for
being away from the home
front during most of the
Primary Election cam
paign, I will warmly ap
preciate your vote
you visit the polls on Primary Election Day, August 14th.
With kindest regards ana best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,

Gonna p!:k your way thru summer again
Summertime and the Livin’s not so easy
when ice water and a fan are the omy
things to give a few minutes relief from
the heat. And when it’s time for bed . . .
well . . . eventually you fall asleep from
exhaustion. The early morning may be
comfortable, but you know it will be
another scorcher by noon. Why don’t you
do something about it?
Many of your neighbors have installed
air-conditioning.Why haven’t you? You’ve
not Ling to lose but discomfort.
That first restful night will give you more
comfort and satisfaction than you ever
thought possible. You’ll enjoy it all the
more when you realize how little it costs
for so much air-conditioned comfort.
Let your appliance dealer
show you how to take the sizzle
out of summer.
