New Fox Crates Are *
Designed for Shipping
The Forest Products Laboratories
of the Forest Service at Madison,
Wisconsin have been making a study
of fox crates the past winter. The
studies have resulted in a new style
of crate that is light, less expensive
and at the same time gaining con
siderable strength.
Plans and specifications of these
crates can be seen at the Forest Su
pervisor’s office at Cordova or at the
Forest Ranger’s office at Anchorage.

NOTICE
GIANTS LAIR,
March 12, 1926.
The “Giants” took due notice of
the complimentary challenge posted
through the medium of The Gateway
columns, by their old rivals, the
Senators, yesterday, and while great
ly pleased at the opportunity to
“strut their usual stuff”, it is feared
that at least four members of the
regular Giants will be otherwise en
gaged at the time the worthy Sen
ators desire to stage the scrap.
Realizing that a baseball game of
high order would be quite the thing
for the sport-loving public of Seward
to feast upon next Sunday, the gentle
man Giants, referred to by some as
“rowdies—hums—e t c”., recommend
that an acceptance of the previously
mentioned challenge be issued by
either the Pirates or Yankees.
See you at the basketball game
tonight.

Would You Rather
Use a Scrub Brush
or a Paint Brush
One of the drawbacks about keep
ing house in the good old days was
the job of scrubbing the kitchen
floor. There wasn’t any linoleum
and paint was as much out of place
as it would be on a tile hearth. The
woman who could keep the bare
boards of the kitchen floor the whit
est was rated the best housekeep
er.
“Those days are gone forever,’’
says Mr. J. L. Graef, the hardware J
man and a good many families who
semed to have trouble in keeping
paint on their floors are in for a
pleasant little surprise.
The surprise is a new lacquer,
known ais “lacq” and made 'by The
Glidden Company. One of the fea
tures of this new material is the i
ease of applying it. Little brushing
is necessary, for it simply flows on
to the surface. Women who have
used it. say it is easier to apply “lacq”
to a floor than to go over the floor
with a scrubbing brush. And there
is no waiting overnight for the fin
ish to harden so the floor can be
used. Lacq can be walked on in
less than half an hour after it is
applied, and the glass-like surface
defies anyone to find a brush mark
on it.
Lacq is supplied in a variety of
colons and not only makes a won
derful and durable finish floors, but
is excellent for renewing chairs,
tafiles, porches and the like.
Good program at tbe Liberty.
