. UR. GILLESPIE NOTES NEW
BUSINESS B(K)M IX EAST
Despite strikes, the East, espe
cially New York City, is booming,
and the whole naion is. enjoying more
prosperous business, according to Dr.
F. B. Gillespie, who returned to Fair
banks recently after a- four months
.tour in the States, says the. Fair
banks News-Miner,
“New York looks like the.Ouv it
was in 1927-28,” Doctor Gillespie-de
clared. “And the wave of increased
business is rapidly spreading to the
West Coast.”
Business and recreation were com
bined by Dr. Gillespie, of the Fair- j
banks Medical and Surgical - Clinic. '
Mrs. Gillespie and 12-rear-old -daugh- •
ter, Katherine, on their trip Outside.
The doctor spent five weeks in sur-!
gical practice at the Mayo Clinic at
Rochester, Minn., three weeks in
fracture and orthopedic work in Se
attle.
At, Washington. D. C., the doctor!
called ua Delegate Anthony . ,1. Lii
mond whom he found .hard at work
•vlth the lcgirlative progranf./for 1
a.ska. ‘'Dam rd seldom is abl* to
-o;!\e his tfii. e before 9 o’clo e at
night, he it so busy,” Gillespie said.
Alaska's friends in Washington
are very optimistic about getting air
mail contracts for lines in and out of
Fairbanks.
Everywhere the Fairbanksans went
they were impressed by the big re
viva] of 'business. Hotels were full,
and all planes were crowded on'the
major airlines. The transport com
panies are giving better service, and
are using- more roomy, comfortable
ships, according to the doctor. AH
the new transports built by Boeing
will use four motors and carry big
-ger loads henceforth. The plane
transport business is progressing
rapidly.
