Not A Butterfly
Money that has slipped through your
fingers in the last twelve months is
gone. You can’t recapture it again
with a butterfly net, because someone
else now owns it and enjoys its use.
You can, however, determine to bank a
part of each dollar you will earn during
this year. That is the first step in
building up a growing bank account.
A growing bank account means more
than more money. It means less worry
and greater independence for you.
Bank of Seward
Seward, Alaska, Feb. 18, 1924.

FORMER ALASKA I0URIST
HIES TO MEL HORNER
Howard B. MacDonald, of New York
who made the tour of the territory two
years ago, writes to Mel Horner, who
accompanied the Totem Tours party
from Cordova over the railroad, that j
since his trip to Alaska he has travel-1
ed all over the world, taken thousands
of photos, and compiled a number of
lectures on his travels, but that he has
yet to see the scenery or experience
the delights of a trip equal to that of
the Alaskan tour.
It will be remembered that at the
time Mr. MacDonald and companions
were here, it rained continuously,
several mud slides occurred on the
railroad, and the streams along the
Richardson highway were roaring tor
rents. Despite these drawbacks, Mr.
MacDonald apparently enjoyed his ;
trip as his letter indicates that he in-1
i tends to return to Alaska and with!
| Mr. Homer go to the Valley of Ten
! Thousand Smokes where he will take
pictures.
Mr. MacDonald writes that after his
trip through Alaska he took a 100,000
mile trip around the world, and will
spend this summer in Norway and
Sweden.

M'KINLEY PARK LUNCH STORE
It’s a long way to Mt. McKinley,
where good eats are very rare; so
fill up your lunch bags with fresh
fruits, boiled ham, and dry sausage
that’s made from a polar bear; and
when you return from the Yukon and
the big ship’s waiting for you, just
go to your berth with a lunch bag, it
will be a life-saver to you. And when
your long voyage is ended and the
Harding Gateway you’ve gone thru,
with all the good eats and fine scen
ery, you’ll be a bear.
