THE NECESSITY OP PUBLICITY
The necessity in Skagway of a
publicity bureau is becoming more
apparent every day, as the Daily
Alaskan is in constant receipt of
letters from people from different
sections of the United States and
Canada asking for information in
regard not alone to Skagway but to
other portions of the territory as
well. The following is a fair
sample: I
Atlantic City, N. J., Mar. 20-14.
The Daily Alaskan, »
Skagway, Alaska,
Gentlemen: I coutemplate coming
tc Alaska in the near future to set
tle and desire to pick out a suit
able town to settle in. 1 have not
been able to discover whether you
have a Board of Trade cr a Pub
licity Bureau In your town, so I j
turn to you for information.
If you have a Board of Trade or
a Publicity Bureau in your town, i
will you please turn this communi- J
cation over to them, btu if not will
you please send me some informa
tion concerning the advantages of
your town. A sample copy of your
paper would be greatly appreciat
ed. '
Thanking you in advance, I am
Yours respectfully,
H. L. Godshall,
1315 Pacific Ave.,
Atlantic City, N. J.
Skagway until about three years j
ago had a Board of Trade by'
which all inquiries such as the
above were looked after and the
desired information furnished, but
as business as well as the popula
tion of the town gradually de
creased, interest by the members
of the Board of Trade iu the work
which they had associated them
selves together to perforin waned
in a like ratio until the association,
practically ppassed out of existence
through inanity.
Now, however, with a bright bus
iness prospect ahead of us and the
knowledge that within the next
few Aonths there will be thous
ands of people come to Alaska in
search of homes, or *o find work,
or for the investment of capital, It
behooves us to awaken and to let
the outside world know the advan
tages we have to offer. In order
to do this we must have an or
ganization of business men, either
by the revival of the old Board of
Trade or the forming oi a new as
sociation under another name, the
duty of whose members it shall
be to advance the interests of the
town in every legitimate manner,
to promptly answer all inquiries,
to look after strangers who come
here with a view to investment,
and to faithfully attend to the
many other duties which they will
be called upon to perform.
And further, now is the time to
get in and perfect the organization
and get it in working order, for
there is no tellng what a month,
or a week or even a day may bring
forth in this northern land, which
will soon become a scene of such
bustle and activity as those who
have experienced the quietness of
the last few years can, have but
slight conception of.
