$1,000,000 smile. Whether he got
{the million, that is for us to find out
I but he has that smile that makes
i people think he is worth a million.
(This same man is no other than Mr.
j Andy Deringer—‘Andy’ as he is
j known from the North Pole to the
South Pole.
“The genial, good looking Andy
came to Valdez at the ace of 19 in
the year 1903. and at that age en
gaged in freighting over the trail
j during the stampede, and, after the
i excitement was over, formed the
| Alaska Transfer Co., which name
j stands today as a symbol of this
| man’s activity. He has always been
j active in any business enterprise, ;
jand is a great believer in the future
| of Alaska and especially Valdez. He
has been elected to the council of
Valdez several times and always
has an eagle eye for the betterment
| of the town, and he keens all the
; homes warm and comfy during
! the winter with coal. Of course
some pessimist will say, “Huh! $20
a ton”. Well and good, but I notice j
we all look for Andy to get the coal, j
and are glad he gets it.
‘Andy Deringer was a very young j
man when he marred a \oune lady j
Miss Fagg, also of Valdez, and lie is
a very devoted husband, and has j
raised a family of three boys and
two girls. His sister married Jim
Lathrop, otherwise known ns Capt.}
Lathrop and formerly marshal of ‘
Valdez, who afterwards formed the t
Valdez Dock Co., with Je»s Martin |
and Charles Creamer. Jess Martin j
held the position of general mana
ger and bookkeeper. Andy was op
erating the transfer business' up
until the resignation of Jess Martin
when the office was turned to
our genial Andy, and he then ap
pointed Robert Kelsey as clerk

and bookkeeper, and from that clay
until today Andy has conducted
what everybody in Alaska knows as
the Valdez Dock Co., and the
steamboat office. With the able
assistance of Commodore Sam
Knudsen and Robert Kel ey he has
; conducted that business to the
icredit of Valdez and everybody that
'knows our Andy Dersinger, knows
jthat if he only had the millions in
stead of the $1,000,000 smile, then
something would happen to Valdez
that would just put it in class with
any town in Alaska.
“If Andy did not have the faith
and the real Alaska spirit he would
not spend all he makes for the be
terment of Valdez. I say now, just
look at the chance he takes putting
$30,000 In a roadhouse, the Tonsina
Lodge, on the Richardson Highway |
—a modern up-to-date hostelry for
the benefit of the tourists coming
over the road. Let us hope that!
Andy gets a million so he can!
keep the smile that everybody on j
the boats coming here knows him
by. Andy will take a chance on
anything for the benefit of the
town, and what Alaska needs is
more m/i like Andy, 100 percent
Alaskan and Alaska spirit. Andy
has made good so far; let us hope
that he will have success with his
beautiful Tonsina Ledge. And when
this International Highway comes,
then Andy’s name wnl be mention
ed from one end of the road to the

other. I thing it is the duty of
every Alaskan citizen to stand by
and back him up, and appreciate
what he has done in the years gone
by in regard to Valdez, and let us
hope that the present winter his
Tonsina Lodge will be well patron
ized by our Alaska visitors and that
the name of Andy Deringer be
broadcasted ail over the states—the
man with the million dollar smile
of Valdez.”
