JACK PETERSON IN SEATTLE;
LANDS JOB UPON ARRIVAL
Jack Peterson, formerly job shop
foreman of the Seward Gateway’s
job plant, who, with his family, de
parted for Seattle and the East last
month, upon his arrival was greeted
by many of his former friends who
insisted he should go to work imme
diately instead of continuing on to
the “Big Cities” and possibly spend
his fortune harvested in the North.
Jack was forced to accept with the
result he went to work within 24
hours after getting off the Alaska
steamer—proving, a good man can
always show his worth.
