ALASKA STEAM MAY
PUBLICIZE ALASKA
. COMMUNITY EVENTS
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce has been asked by an adver-1
Using firm to pass on the merit of j
a plan to publicize community |
events in Alaska through advertise
ments by the Alaska Steamship Co.;
in Alaska newspapers.
Frederick E. Baker and Associates
of Seattle, who handles Alaska
Steamship Company advertising,
write as follows:
“For sometime now, we have been
noticing with interest the develop
ment of various community-spons
ored events in Alaska. These events
appear to be beneficial, not only to
the communities which sponsor
them, but also to the Territory as
a whole, and we ar anxious to give
them our support.
“With this in mind, we have de
veloped a tentative plan for obtain
ing wider publicity for these events
by featuring them in special adver
tisements in Alaska newspapers.
“If this plan appears feasible, we
would like to recommend that our
client, the Alaska Steamship Com
pany, assist in the program by
sponsoring the ads as a public serv
ice.”
Some action is likely to be taken
on the matter at the chamber of
commerce meeting Thursday.
