S-. s (Special) ^ orficflOa
of the Alaska Visitors Association
launched a fund-rais.-ng campaign
in St attic and Pu.v Sound area
last w Cok. Execi live Director
Frau:-. Whaley ;.nd Vicc-Presideht
John J. Ryan started the drive by
cal..p(» on some oi the leading Al
aska suppliers for support of the
AVA program.
“Seattle benefits in two ways,”
the AVA official pointed out.
“Studies have shown that visitors
l going to and from Alaska spend
at least four days in Seattle. In
addition, many Puget Sound firms
do an important amount of busi
ness with Alaska firms that direct
ly or indirectly supply the visitors
and others in the Territory,” they
said.
All of the Alaska newspapers
have agreed to print the list of
Puget Sound supporters of AVA.
This was and is being done with
the Alaska contributors to the As
sociation.
Ryan and Whaley will not be
able to personally contact all those
interested in the Alaska business
but will continue with a mail pro
gram. One Seattle hotel already
contributed $100 without being
asked. \
In order to carry on the needed
promotion, AVA has a goal of
$50,000. Of that amount nearly
half has ben raised in Alaska
where the fund drive is continuing.
Each dollar raised by popular sub
scription is matched with two from
a Territorial appropriation.
"The time element is important,”
Whaley stated, “because advertis
ing and information must be out
immediately to stateside news
papers, magg?i|je§. and travel agen
cies.
"At present the Alaska visitor
industry .amounts to about $10 mil
' ’ lion a year and can be greatly in
creased this year if we get the fi
nancial support now to do it,”
Ryan indicated.

The ear says GO and the price wont stop you.1
Invest in Dependability...
<7
get a Bonus in Go!
You can buy it on its name alone—
ihis big, high-powered ’56 Pontiac—
uid be safe in the knowledge that
you couldn’t have made a better
investment in years of dependable,
carefree motoring.
The good things you’ve been hear
ing about Pontiac for years assure
you that.
But “go” is the word for ’56! Per
formance so new and dramatic it
must be experienced to be believed!
A short spell behind the wheel will
nail that statement down as a fact.
Come along for a drive and see.
Waiting for the light to change,
you can’t hear the engine. But touch
your toe to the accelerator and in a
split second there’s a torrent of
power, sparked by the most advanced
engine of them all—the blazing 227
h.p. Strato-Streak V-8.
Team this terrific power plant
with Pontiac’s all-new Strato-Flight
Hydra-Matic* and you’ve got the
smoothest take-off that ever bright
ened a highway.
And remember — this easy han
dling dream is actually among the
biggest, huskiest cars built!
Now for the final test—head for
the open road and some landmarks
you can challenge. Wipe out a hill.
Straighten a curve. Smooth out a
stretch of rough road that’s bothered
you for years.
Now see why they’re calling this
the greatest “go” on wheels?
More than that—it’s the greatest
buy on wheels! And that too, is easy
to prove.
Then take a look at the price tag—
a check on our deal.
Nothing will stop this po.^. J
beauty from being yours!
+An extra-cvBt opium.
\
I You can actually have a big, glamorous Pontiac 860 for less
than you would pay for 44 models of the low-priced three!
