A WORTHY PROMOTION
As Vice President and Managing Director of the
Bank of Seward for many years past, Mr. H. S. Balder
ston has been the prime factor in the substantial growth
of that financial institution and as President, to which
position he was honored yesterday, the Bank of Seward
will continue to show a substantial, concrete growth
throughout the future.
A perusal of the bank statement, published in other
columns of this issue, will reveal astonishing figures, to
the layman; the deposits alone are over the halt million
dollar mark; a strong cash reserve and a secondary re
serve close to the quarter-million dollar mark.
The gradual growth of the deposits reflects the
prosperity of the community; the . confidence of bus
iness firms and residents of the city and citizens of
this district.
Congratulations are extended to President Balder
ston, and to his able assistant, Mr. 0. Ulshagen, who
has been elected Cashier. Also, to Mr. Maurice D. Lee
hgey of Seattle, who was elected Vice President. May
the‘ Bank of Seward continue to prosper for, in turn*
its prosperity is a guage of the growth and general
conditions of this area of the Territory.
Alaskans should burn Alaska coal for the good of
their immortal souls and the everlasting glory of the
Territory.
PRAISES TOWN PAPERS
An exceptional fine tribute was paid to the country
press by Congressman J. B. Aswell of Louisiana in a
recent speech, in which he said’ in part:
“The country newspaper is the most thoroughly
read publication. It is essential the family or community
paper. The character of news requires reading from
cover to cover. Advantages to an advertiser, whether
local or national, in a newspaper of this kind are obvious.
The many services the small town editor renders can
not be measured in dollars and cents.”
“Forgive my enemies?” said the dying editor to
the priest. “I have none. Ived killed them all.”
Mr. Rascob recently wrote a piece explaining how
everybody might get rich. But he hasn’t explained how
everybody might get elected.
AN ANNOUNCEMENT
“TO OUR FRIENDS”
“With the sudden passing away on September 21st
of our former President, Mr. Chas. E. Brown, we have
lost a staunch friend and business executive and his
passing is a great loss to us. Before leaving for his New
York home, Mr. Brown disposed of his entire interests
in The Brown & Hawkins Corporation to his former
associates, T. W. Hawkins and A. H. L.'Meyer, and also
resigned from the presidency of the Brown & Hawkins
Corporation which he held since the firm’s incorporation
in 1920. Mr. Brown’s resignation as president made nec
essary a reorganization in the corporation’s manage
ment with Mr. Hawkins as the new President and Gen
eral Manager, and A. H. L. Meyer as Vice President and
Treasurer.
“The Brown & Hawkins Corporation will carry on
its former policies that have made it the great establish
ment it is today, and the same huge stocks of quality
merchandise will be maintained in all departments. In
the future as in the past the corporation will be ever
ready to serve its many patrons with courtesy’ prompt
service, fair trading and quality first merchandise.
“We wish to thank all for any favors shown us in
the past and we hereby solicit your future patronage.”
Sincerely,
Brown & Hawkins Corporation
By T. W. Hawkins, President

Once again we have a play from the pen of
the famous
JA CK LONDON
whose stories are always full of vigor and
fire. This time it is
BURNING DAYLIGHT
Shown in beautiful pictures. It is of added in
terest to us because the story is of the
KLONDIKE AND ALASKA
and many Alaskans know the characters of
the story, personally. No better person could
have been selected to take the star part than
MILTON SILLS
The screens most vigorous and he-man actor.
All Alaskans should see this play as it has
much historical value besides intense interest.
And we will give you a fine 2-reel comedy
starring
STAN LAUREL and OLIVER HARDY
