Dear Folks:
Carl Moser and Loy sent me
n copy of your paper and I not
ced an advertisement by the
LEAR DEN at Soldotna, where
they have Ole on Sale and have
"heir own private label of Bear
Defi Booze, and they have “Booz
GAS...!

This makes me wonder what I
have been doing down here all
these years thinking and wishing
for an institution like the Bear
Den for relaxing, so I decided to
make up my mind and subscribe
for THE CHEECHAKO NEWS.
I had planned doing this quite
a while ago but I was afraid that
Alaska was the home of the
WCTU and that therefore all the
newspapers would be advertising
ways to leave booze alone, so I
forgot to send my 2x4 for five
bucks.
Well, I am enclosing a piece
of paper which you can exchange
for Alaska cartwheels and put
my name on your mailing list to
regularly receive THE CHEE
CHAKO NEWS.
Right now we have wonder
ful sunshine after about a week
of trying to do a good job of
raining. WSU and Idaho are
having their annual fight at Pull
man, and I am here at home try
ing to get caught up with some
banking.
Best wishes to you all.
Sincerely,
W. 0. (Bill) Druffel
