full of opportunities for the man with
resourse, vision and small capital.
The new Homer- Seward road will open
up as many opportunities as we are willing
and ready to take advantage of.
It will open up markets for the
trucker and the poultrymen, the sheep raiser
and the cattle raiser. It will allow the
merchant to restock his shelves more often
and thus cut down on his large inventories.
It will bring in transient trade with outside

on the peninsula closer together. They will
want to visit with one another. It will

will depend on ourselves. Let us make the
best of it.
The old sourdough says
"Pe at war with your vices;
At peace with your neighbor,
And let every new year find
you a better man.
