Dreams Do Come
True! J. B. Burford's
Is Realized Today
Today J. B. Burford realized a
life-long dream when he officially
opened the Burford Building. The
new reinforced concrete structure
is located on Fourth Street oppo
i ite the Federal Building.
All day long "mug up" w-as served
to the crowds that accepted the
invitations to the grand opening.
Flowers arrived from other Juneau
businessmen congratulating Bur
ford on the new' store.
The main floor is occupied by the
J B. Burford Co., office supplies
and furniture. The basement houses
the heating plant, typewriter and
office machine repair department
and provides storage space. H. E.
Beyer's mimeograph service will also
be located in the basement.
The second floor which is to be
finished soon will be occupied by
Foss, Malcolm and Olsen, archi
tects and Dr. Ted Oberman, op
tometrist.
Foss, Malcolm and Olsen were the
architects for the building and
Triplette and Dalziel were the con
tractors .
The store has a modern all-glass
front with a full length section for
display of office furniture. Side
walls are in bronze green and the
back is a cheerful colonial yellow.
All counters, display cases, racks and
shelves are made of attractive blond
birchwood. Overhead slim line
lights give good lighting and a tile
floor is arranged to give the im
pression of a longer building. The
building has hot water convector
heating throughout.
Burford is expanding his stock to
include more gift items and sliding
glass doors on cases to protect the
stock.
Twenty-seven years ago Juneau
born Burford bought out the H. F.
Dott Co., and has been in business
here ever since.
Mrs. Burford assisted in hostess
ing the big event today. She was
assisted by the store staff which
includes: Jean Talkington, Flor
ence Kramer, clerk and bookkeeper;
Vern Secman and Gene Hehn, type
writer and office machine repair
mechanic; and Robert Murray, er
’•wnd boy.
Tags saying “I am wearing J. B.
Burford’s new doorstep! Make it a
habit" are being pinned on all who
cross the new threshold today.

Consumers' Price i
Index from Alaska
Wanied by WSB
By the Associated Press t
The Wage Stabilization Board
has called for a separate Alaska
consumers’ price index. i
Regional Chairman Leo Kotin
says the behavior of Alaskan prices
is different from those in the states
and his board must have accurate i
data for its decisions.
Kotin says costs are generally
conceded to have risen faster in ,
Alaska than here — and stabiliza
tion laws base wage levels on rise
and fall in the cost of living.
