What Is Your Reason For Baldness?
ALL MERRILL CLIENTS IN THE VICINTY OF KODIAK, ALASKA
ARE INVITED TO APPEAR AT THE KODIAK HOTEL, ON WED
NESDAY ONLY. MAY 9, 12 NOON UNTIL 9 P. M. THESE PRI
VATE INDIVIDUAL REEXAMINATIONS ARE FREE OF CHARGE

CLIENTS.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, March
14, in an interview here today, G.
D. Abbott, international hair and
scalp consultant and Director of
Merrill Hair & Scalp Consultants,
said: “There are many different
scalp conditions that may cause
men and women to lose their hair.
Using common sense, a person
must realize no one tonic or so
called cure-all can correct all
these different conditions,” he
explained.
READ WHAT A FEW OF THE
MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN
HAIR AND SCALP ASSOCIA
TIONS’ MANY SATISFIED
CLIENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT
THEIR HOME TREATMENT IN
THEIR UNSOLICITED REPORTS;
THERE ARE MANY MORE IN
OUR FILES:
“My hair has grown very much,
you can see new hair all over my
scalp. The new hair looks lively
and much better. I am well pleased
with my hair, it looks so much bet
ter and much thicker and I thank
you so much.”

1 have been told that you can not
grow hair on a bald scalp'. Merrill
is doing it! The treatment should
go on the records as the greatest
discovery of all times.
Ernest Johnson

Fostoria, Ohio
“Since beginning my treatment my
hair is softer, more manageable,
and it is not breaking or coming
out nearly so much. I notice a gen
eral appearance of new hair all
over my scalp. I am very pleased
with the treatment.”
B. P. Brown

L Guaranteed
Not everyone can be helped by the
Merrill Home Treatment. Only
those we think we can help are ac
eepted for treatment. Those who
are accepted for Merrilll Home
Treatment are given this guaran
tee, “If you are not completely
satisfied at the end of thirty days,
your money will be returned.”
This is only because most people
are skeptical of claims that hair
can grow on balding heads. Usual
ly when a person avails himself of
the Merrill treatment, his skepti
cism disappears.
No Cure-All
"We have no cure-all for slick,
shiny baldness,” Abbott empha
sizes. “If there is still fuzz, that
hair follicle of the scalp is still
producing hair. Merrill’s users
have grown hair. We have many
reports testifying that after using
our home treatment, weak fuzz has
developed into healthy mature
hair. Proper use of this home
treatment may bring about a
healthy scalp condition which will
help the body to produce new
hair. If there is any fuzz at all, a
healthy scalp condition may be re
stored, and the hair may grow
normally again as nature intend
ed.” There is one thing Abbott
wants to be certain every man and
woman knows. If a recession ap
pears at tfie temple or a spot be
gins to show up on the crown of
the head, there is something wrong
and it should be given immediate
attention.
Free Examination
In addition to reexamining present
clients, the Merrill method of
home treatment will be demon
strated to others who are interest
ed. The examination is very thor
ough and highly technical. It re
quires 20 to 30 minutes. The Con
sultant makes no charge for this
examination and no appointment
is necessary. After examining the
person, he is told the required
length of treatment and how much
it will cost. Regular reports are
made to the Merrill firm in Okla
homa City to check ihe progress
of the home treatment.
HOW’S YOUR HAIR
IF IT WORRIES YOU CALL OUR CONSULTANT, E. L. HICKS AT
THE KODIAK HOTEL in KODIAK, ALASKA on WEDNESDAY
ONLY, MAY 9, 12 NOON UNTIL 9:00 P. M. THE PUBLIC IS IN
VITED. THE EXAMINATIONS ARE PRIVATE AND OPEN TO
MEN AND WOMEN. YOU DO NOT NEED AN APPOINTMENT
AND YOU WILL NOT BE EMBARRASSED OR OBLIGATED IN
ANY WAY.
Sales Tax Views
Aired At Meeting
The proposed sales tax ordinance
was thoroughly discussed last
Tuesday evening when the City
Council met at an open meeting
at the Elks Club. About sixty five
people attended, and aired their
views on sections of the ordinance.
Mayor Johnson presided.
Main objections centered around
the proposal to tax rentals, enter
tainment, particularly certain ad
mission categories, and transporta
tion tax on children's bus fares.
John Fletcher, manager of the
Orpheum Theatre, asked for a
consideration of his proposal that
existing student and children’s
rates not be taxed. The present
rate of 50 cents will have to be
upped to 60 cents, he said, because
the Federal tax of five cents on
charges of over fifty cents will
then apply. “We worked for two
years to institute the low student
rate,” he said, "which was estab
lished to give the student a break.”
Jim Loan also requested consid
eration be given school children
and Boy Scout troops, in setting a
tax on bus transportation for these
age groups.
Jack Hinckel sought clarification
on certain sections of the proposed
ordinance. He thought sub-head b,
under Section 4 should be clari
fied. Speaking later, he gave it as
his opinion the ordinance should
be very specfic as to what item
is to be taxed.
Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Bob John
son both expressed the belief there
should be no tax on drugs or medi
cine sold by prescription, and that
there should be no tax on medical,
dental or hospital services. Dr.
Johnson stated the tax does not
apply to these services in any Al
askan cities having the tax.
Commander J. W. Grant, District
Legal Officer at the Naval Station,
presented the Navy’s position on
the proposed charge on rentals.
He read excerpts from the Adju
tant General’s letter from Washing
ton, D.C.,seeking the elimination of
this form of tax. He stated it
would work a hardship on military
personnel, and civilian workers.
The former, he said, especially
those in the lower rates, are find
ing it difficult even now to meet
the high cost of rentals and ser
vices in the Aleutian Homes pro
ject and other housing in town.
Payment of the tax would fall on
the U. S. Government, he said,
which is already spending huge
sums to keep personnel here. He
also explained the difficulty in
securing civilian workers on the
Naval Station, due to the high cost
of living here. “We have reached
the limit,” he said, “we are unable
to subsidize their (servicemen)
coming here, further.”
He then went on to state that ac
cording to a survey made, service
men without rates buy Jess food
than others. “They just haven’t the
money to buy the food, after rent
and utility services are paid,” he
said.
Grant intimated that failure to
give the Navy’s proposal consider
ation and the increased costs,
which he said are already prohibi
tive in Alaska, may result in with
drawal of the Naval Station, which
would be established in a less cost
ly area. “The tax on rentals is un
ique,” he said. He also criticized
taxing transients for permanent
improvements.
H. F. MacDonald also spoke in
behalf of eliminating tax on rent
als. “The serviceman already pays
a tax of $293 a year when he pays
his rent,” he said. This figure ap
plies to the Aleutian Homes.
The 25 percent penalty on fail
ure of seller to pay tax came in
for criticism, as did the compen
sating 3 percent for collecting. The
latter was felt to be too small. An
other, the “ten mile” clause, was
also discussed very thoroughly, as
was that of the suggestion that all
purchases made from mail order
houses be taxed. Mayor Johnson
stated this feature had been dis
cussed at great length, but no solu
tion as to how to levy it had been
found.
It was proposed that it be made
possible for the merchant to ab
sorb the tax if he so desired. The
ordinance in its present form indi
cates the tax be added to the pur
chase price.
It was brought out at the meet
ing that $500,000 is the sum to be
raised by the tax, allocated in
sums of $250,000 each for Small
Boat Harbor and street and road
improvement.
Speaker^ from the audience sug
gested the Council have a concrete
plan to follow in the expenditures
of the funds, which could be used
by the present Council and future
City government officials.

TWO FORMER RESIDENTS

Two former residents of Kodiak,
Leo and Ray Sears, arrived in
town Tuesday. Both expect to re
main here for the summer and
early fall.
The Sears are now living n
Santa Barbara, Ray having moved
there with his family in 1954. Leo,
his wife Jerry and the children
moved to the same city last year.
The two brothers report their fam
ilies all well, and enjoying the
California climate. Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Sears are still in Santa Bar
bara. They also report that Tom
Silcox, who was also a former resi

that he woul be here this summer
