DO YOU WANT A SAWMILL IN JUNEAU, OR DON'T YOU, - that is not an
academic question. The situation is this; the Juneau Lumber Company started to oper
ate without sufficient capital to complete construction. The mill is swamped with orders
and is unable to fill them because of the need of money to buy logs, meet the payroll, pro
duce the lumber, make shipment and await payment.
The present output is 30 to 35 thousand board feet per day. At $70 per thousand,
the going price of lumber, this is $2,100 gross production daily.
THE MILL EMPLOYS 40 MEN. THE PAYROLL IS AROUND $18,000 PER
MONTH. Whether this payroll continues or whether it does not will depend upon the
response of those who have money - much or little - who will dip in and buy stock right
now. j
The new Board of Directors took over on July 17th with the belief that the public
would respond to the call for additional funds rather than see the fine effort of the pres
ent owners, who started the project, fail because of the lack of local support. It is the
considered opinion of the Board of Directors that this operation cannot continue without
additional help.
WE MUST HAVE $75,000! We have made substantial progress towards this goal.
We suggest to those who have already invested, either in common or preferred stock, that
to save your investment you take an equivalent amount of common slock now being of
fered and encourage others to join you. J|
The Board is convinced that with $75,000 additional capital a profitable business
operation can be maintained. J
‘ ’ ■ —
. -• xtryH ;f
We raised $300,000 for a building to house federal agencies. We should be able to
raise $75,000 to continue an industrial payroll which we ail realize we need.
The Board is giving unstinted effort to accomplish its purpose, but the response
must be immediate to be successful.
The pledge for subscriptions reads as follows:
Subscriptions are made subject to and only providing:
a. That between July 18,1950 and August 3, 1950, Juneau Lumber Co., Inc., ob
tains subscriptions for at least 93,750 shares of its common stock at 80 cents per
ishare on these terms and conditions. *
b. Thai there be deposited in escrow in The B. M. Behrends Bank of Juneau, $75,
000.00 in cash including my subscription, in payment of such shares, before 5:00
P.M., August 3,1950.
c. That I may withdraw my escrow deposit in the event that said sum is not so
deposited in escrow. . k.
d. That said shares be issued to me on August 3,1950, or before that date.
