URGES FUR SEAL ,
PROCESSING PLANT HERE
At the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon on Monday, Sen. Lester
Bronson urged the Chamber to
take steps to encourage the estab
lishment of a tannery in Nome
large enough to handle the fur seal
which are now being sent to St.
Louis.
Although there is some feeling
that Fouke Fur Co’s, dying pro
cess is a secret, on the other hand
a generation ago the world felt
that these skins could only be
processed in England. American
tanners developed their own meth
ods and these craftsmen could be
brought to Alaska.
Bronson also urged the Chamber
to make a special study on Nome
as a winter convention city, not
only for state conventions but other
conventions from farther away.
