THE B M. BEHRENDS BANK
Junsau, Alaska
OLDEST AND LARGEST BANK IN ALASKA
A consistent policy pursued for more than a quarter of a
century Las been rewarded by steady and substan
tial growth until this Bank has now over
one and one-half million dollars re
sources and depositors in
every part of the
Territory
For Christmas
May we suggest that the problem of Christmas will be
most economically and easily solved by giving a sav
ings account of $ 1.00 or more.
As you well know, in saving money the start is every
thing, so why not serve a double purpose by giving
pleasure by a substantial gift, and by starting"the re
cepient on the Thrift road.
We would be pleased to explain further if you will call
at this Bank or write us.

Mother's Doll Story
Betsy and the Bad Boy
Oneo upon n time not so very long
ago there was a nice rag doll by the
nnmo of Betsy.
One day she went out to play-In the
yard with her mamma and uncle, who
was n rather noisy little boy, Jlmmle
by name. She was sitting happily on a
wooden bench beside her mamnif when
her uncle cried out, "Give tne my ball
or I will do something to your doll!"
Of course Betsy was much fright
ened, for once before her uncle had
quarreled with her mamma and had
thrown Betsy right into a lily pond
that stood In one corner of the yard.
"I haven't got your old ball," Betsy
heard her mamma say. So she clung
tightly to the wooden bench and hoped
the quarrel would pass over.
But, alas for i>oor Betsy, her uncle
ran right up to her, seized her by one
calico arm and. bracing both legs, with
all his might flung her right up on to a
limb of the apple tree that they had all
been so happy playing under.
Betsy screamed with fright She felt
sure that her leg would be broken
when she feil back to the ground. But
happily her blue gingham apron caught
on a twig, and there she hung quite
safe If uncomfortable until her grand
mother came home and poked her off
the twig with a clothes pole.
Omaha's Old Violin Maker
And His "Two In One" Violin
As nil musicians know, either a
genuine Stradlvarlus or a real Guar
nerlus Is a precious rarity, but a violin
that Is a combination Stradlvarlus 1732
and a Joseph Guarnerlus 1728 Is an
oddity Indeed.
Nils Cleve, an old violin maker at
Omaha, Neb., Is the possessor of thli
unique treasure.
One day a good many years ago a
small boy brought lilra n liadly bat
tered violin. For a bright silver dollai

and a shining new instrument the
youth gladly gave up his broken toy
Though broken. It was a genuine Gunr
nerlus, 1723.
Several ye.'irs later olil Cleve came
upon a farmer about to use an old vlo
lin for kindling wood. For $5 Clove
obtained possession of a Stradlvarlus,
1732.
From his two treasures the old man
constructed a single instrument, in
finite care and patience were require!
in carving and glueing the precious bits
of aged wood, but the result was an
Instrument as sweet and pure in tons
as any old violin can be.
