SHOULD YOU BELONG TO THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
It the local Chamber of Commerce
has success during its present drive,
in getting the active cooperation ot
all the various groups in Seward, the
labor element guides, and packers,
the churches and women’s organiza
tions, as well as t lie professional and
business men, there will be no limit
to the benefits every person in this
section will receive.
If through the combined efforts
they can induce a corporation or in
dividual to investigate the possibili
ties in this vicinity, the whole town
will benefit, even though the investi
gator remain only a day—It is neces
sary that he eat and sleep.
A family at a time added to our pre
sent population would soon mean en
ough new people to demand more
clerks for the merchants, a quicker
turn over, cheaper living, less taxes,
more revenue and a better town—It
means more homes, work for the la
borer and the tradesman. Every new
family in this section of Alaska, in
the Interior or to the westward will
help Seward. Situated as we are,
"The Gateway,’ 'it is necessary that
those people pass through here. A
conservative estimate of the addition
al tonnage passing through Seward,
created by a few more families would
mean more boats to and from Sew
ard, more buildings for storage, addi
tional help to handle freight, more
trains and therefore more crews, and
each 01 tnese items helps Seward.
The erection of a pulp mill at Se
ward. contemplated in the spring,
will offer an inducement for the home
steader to clear his land. To develop
it he must have a market for his pro
duce; this is no great matter if thru
COOPERATION the people buy at
home, the merchant will give home
grown products preference, the fisher
ies moving to this section will add a
thousand fold to this demand.
In the midst of a highly mineralized
country, well timbered .good soil, id
eal climate famous game, natural
beauties and the nearest port to a
great fishing bank, with fine harboi
and docks—Seward can cater to every
prospective Investor, Farmer, Homt
seeker, Big game hunter, Tourist and
Fisherman.
“Eventually why not now',’’ “Holt
proof hosiery,” "Community plate,’
“Old Dutch cleanser,” and many oth
er trade names are household words
known the world over because of ad
vertising. Knowledge of their prod
acts, ambition to make it the best and
enthusiasm in their efforts are essen
tial for advertising success. We car
apply this to ourselves. While wt
cannot advertise in the manner 01 f
large corporation or community w<
tan at least emulate their example:
and in a small way let strangers knov
our attractions.
Knowledge is acquired by men win
know less from men that know more
.Some know more about certain sut
jects than others. We have a menta
picture of the Community we wish b
be, we are not satisfied to reinai,
where we are—we have an ambitio
to become the greatest town in A
aska. The more knowledge we hav
of our surroundings and the highe
our ambition, the more enthusiasu
we become over the prospects betor
us.
THE SEWARD CHAMBER O
COMMERCE needs men in every lin
of work in order to obtain the know
edge necessary to intelligently adve
tise our possibilities Every publ:
spirited resident in any surroundir
town of Seward, should have ambitic
to better himself by associating wit
a cooperative body who have the e
thusiasm necessary to put Sew aid
the front. And that person shou
sacrifice any personal prejudice 1
may have for the common good, ai
while it may not be possible for hi
to give the community all the time
requires, he should at least devo
a portion of his time for communi
and therefore his own welfare.
Money is essential of course b
man power and cooperation is wh
we need most now. HAVE YOU TA
