IT IS "SEWARD
ANCHORAGE" HIGHWAY
Alaska Road Commission offi
cials seem slightly irked by the
proclivity of Alaskans for call
ing highways by their old, fa
miliar names instead of the offi
cial names by which they were
dedicated.
For instance, the “Palmer
road" out of Anchorage is not
the Palmer road at all. but the
Glenn Highway. In like manner,
Sewardites speak of “the Kenai
road." the missing link." or the
Northern Cab, Main 54 - Main 55
“Hope road,” when they really
mean the S e vv a r d-Anchoragc
Highway, whieh is the official
name for the road that com
prises parts of all three of the
former road names. Also offi
cially, miles on this highway
will be counted off from Sew
ard, beginning with zero at the
city limits.
At present the Sterling High
way with the terminus at Homer
is mileposted from Homer north
ward. ARC hopes to reverse
this marking when they taka
full charge of the Kenai Pen
insula road network.

Now from where we sit it looks this way. About nine "seasons”
ago a new-comer challenged the big-time. Brilliant perform
ance made it the idol of the pros. But it also had the stamina
and dependability that appeal to the general public. Today it’s
the biggest drawing card in the field. The name is Mercury.
It’s a name that spells highest trade-in value among all ten cars
in its price class. Within nine new-model years it has crowded
the old-timers to the goal line. Drive it and learn why.
