CUB BEAft NAMED
AFTER MANY YEARS
Now that the Bank of Kodiak’s
bear cub has been appropriately
named, it may be of some interest
to learn how it happened.
The idea was born many years
ago, according to Bank President
0. A. Torgerson, when Charles
Madsen was persuaded to lend the
bank for display a bear cub,
which he had in his curio store
where the Johnson Clinic is now
located.
However, during the busy war

years there were so many other
things, to do which seemed more
Stressing,' that Jhe ide'a of using
Thrifty McBear for advertising
purposes was not carried out; but
now, after all these years, this
idea has been revived.
Mrs. Madsen graciously loaned
the bank the cub as a model from
which to make a picture and a
cut.
Paul Bond came up with the
sketch which resulted in the cub
which will soon appear in the Ko
diak Mirror.

Bear, and the bank hopes you will
like the innovation of also 'using
Thrifty Me Bear as its spokesman.
Any suggestions on this subject
will be welcome, Torgie Torger
