"TOURIST DOLLAR
IS SWIFT MOVING
BUCK" SAYS MOORE
“Alaska is like a Betty Grable
in overalls." Larry Moore, man
ager of Associated General Contrac
tors, Anchorage, told meeting of
the Alaska Visitors Association and
legislators at a dinner at Whing
Ding’s last evening. He pointed
out that the tourist industry was a
great potential income for Alaska
but that the country must be ad- |
vertised and promoted.
“Any investment In promoting
Alaska is a short time loan with
long time dividends," Moore told
the group. "A tourist dollar is a
swift-moving buck,” he said.
Bob Ellis, temporary president of :
AVA, was toastmaster, deplored the |
“war scare psychology" that dis- j
couraged Alaska travel.
Gov. Ernest Gruening said, "Alas
ka is now prepared to receive visit
ors from East or West and in either
case is prepared to give the appro- .
priate welcome in our own way.” j
Phil Johnson of the Bank of Fair
banks, stated that "Capital follows)
opportunity” and voiced his confi-I
dence in the future of facilities.
Chuck West, of Fairbanks travel
service, pointed out that Alaska
was now getting only two percent
of the 10 percent due it of the $500,
000,000 spent annually by traveling
Americans. "We should capitalize on
our frontier atmosphere," he de
clared, and said that of travel lec
tures given in the states, Alaska is
the most popular. He madty t
strong plea to legislators lor funds
for national advertising.

REPELLENTS
• Your chiTSren, more than any mem
ber of the family, are out in all kinds
of weather. That’s why it makes good
sense to have their outer garments —
coats, jackets — treated with our
“Cravenette” water repellents. Here’s
what we do. First, the garment is
beautifully dry cleaned in the usual \
way. Then we process it with
“Cravenette” water repellents. That
way, it will shed showers — and your
youngster is spared the wetness that so
often ends up with coughs and colds.
Send your children’s coats and jackets
for cleaning — and be sure, at the
same time, to ask for our “Cravenette”
water repellent service.
