ISN’T IT TRUE that over
half the goods you sell were
bought by you because you
saw them advertised? ? ?
Your customers are not
different.

POSTMASTERS TOLD
OF ALASKA SERVICE
The following communication has
been addressed to postmsaters from
the office of the Postmaster Gen
eral :
Daily air mail service on a route
from New York to San Francisco
has been established. The postage
paid by the public is 8 cents per
ounce for each of the three zones.
The value of such service to busi
ness and to the development of the
science of aeronautics is readily seen
and fully appreciated by the public.
The schedule is every day, including
Sundays and holidays, and the time
for the trip is 34 hours and 45 min
utes going west, and 31 hours and
45 minutes coming east. New air
mail stamps, 8 cents, 16 cents, and
24 cents have been issued.
This is the longest air line in the
world and is the only route upon
which night as well as day flying
is employed. Air mail was recom
mended by Postmaster General Hays
and Work and the first transcon
tinental route was put in operation
by men on July 1, 1924, by and with
the approval of President Coolidge
aud congress.
An airplane service was estab
lished and run as an experiment in
Alaska, covering a route from Fair
banks to McGrath which ordinarily
takes the dog sleds 35 days. Larger
cargoes of mail were carried than
possible to accommodate in the dog
sleds, and the round trip was made
in one day, going out in the morning
and back in the evening, two and a
half to three hours being required
for each journey of the plane.
The outcome of this expeiinvmt

SKAGWAY PEOPLE INVEST
' SAVINGS IN MOVIE VENTURE
George Dedman, proprietor of the
Golden North hotel in Skagway, is
in Juneau on jury duty, having ar
rived on on of the recent boats. As
evidence that Skagway is still up
and doing Mr. Dedman says that the
residents of his town have invested
$12,000 in “The Eternal Frontier”
which wras lately partly filmed at
that place by G. E. Lewis.
Mr. Dedman says the plant of the
late Skagway Alaskan which was sold
last July for a song to William L.
Paul, is still at Skagway, but is not
issuing any paper, even though the
new movie enterprise sprung into ex
istence. It is the intention of Mr.
Paul to move the Alaskan plant to
Ketchikan as soon as the weather
moderates sufficient for the handling
of the machinery without being either
frozen to death or being stuck to
the castings from perspirations and
losing about half your hide.
THREE JUNEAU MEN DECLINE
TO HAVE THE HONOR OF
HEADING CHAM. OF COM.
It is not usual that positions of
honor and trust stalk abroad in quest
of men to fill them but such a con

no less than three stalwart and re
liable citizens having declined to ac

Executive Board of the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce, R. E. Robert
