The Printed Message of Christmas Cheer

There Is no one item, at such small cost that approaches the Christmas card as a remembrance of friend by friend. There is nothing that so cements the good will of business institution as thoughtful greeting to it's customers, clients, associates and competitors. Without forgetting the sentimental fea- ture of Christmas giving, the printed greeting comes mighty close to being GOOD BUSINESS for both individual and firm.

ALASKA RAILROAD
 WEARS COMPLETION

Fairbanks, Alaska, Nov 23-Virtual completion of the Alaska railroad between Anchorage, on the south western coast and Fairbanks, far to the interior, was announced here to- day. An excursion of Anchorage busi- ness men, leaving Saturday is expect ed tomake the rail trip to Fairbanks in twenty hours. A Fairbanks party returning to the States will catch the Steamship Victoria at Anchorage and will journey from that port to Seattle, it is anticipated, within nine days.
 The last rail was laid November 19.
The Seward gateway., 1921-12-12

We wonder where Seward is? If it is not on the Government railroad and the southern terminal thereof as well as the port of call of the steamer Vic toria, where is it?
 We gain nothing by hiding our light under a bushel We must get busy and climb to the peak of publicity and put Seward on the map, If we don't no one else will. It is up to the Seward Chamber of Commerce to get busy and advertise Seward or else we can expect no different understanding f this country than that which now which now exists all over the United States.

sack Of @umbs and grain to scatter
where his bird friends could find and
partake of his bounty. If at any
time he saw bird hurt or in dis
tress he would trysto relieve the SUI
ferer. By practice he learned to
sound a bird-like whistling note.
When he went into the woods and
whistled, a few birds close by would
come down and perch near, watch
him a while, then hop down and eat
the grain.
AS time passed by more and more
birds would come at call while their
timidity grew less and less. For
months this went on Finally, TO
cap the climax, it came to pass that
whenever this supplemented lad
went out with his little sack of grain
and whistled his call they came from
every direction, all the birds of the
neighborhood. They came with an
answering chirp and whistle, eat at
his feet and out of his hand, perched
on his hat and shoulders, and flew
about him in the friendliest, manner.
He was the friend and benefactor ii
the birds, and neighbors who came
to see marveled at what he had ac-
complished through love and kind
ness.
