the first commercial work in Per
ma Stone to be done in Alaska

home in Anchorage. W. Huntley
& Son have the Territorial fran

able, inexpensive and popular for
all types of residences and com
mercial buildings, he added. It
may be used inside the home or

“Pm awfully glad to be back”,
said George Small Monday, upon
hi& ieturn to Palmer six weeks

friendly people, but they weren’t
