CHAMBER BOOKLET OFF
 THE NUGGET PRESS

The much touted and nationally advertised x w Alaska Chamber of Commerce booklet of informa- tion and facts relative to north western Ala ska, will be conclud- ed and off the press the first of the coming week. Advance sales will necessarily be held up for a time, probably one week to allow sufficient number to be prepar- ed in advance for the increasing, large demand.
 When ready. the booklet may be purchased for 5octs per copy at A Polets Stores. Lomen Bros. Drug Store, Midnight Sun Bakery, North Pole Bakery. and the M < NJ, Bank. If any quantity of books are desired l2 copies may be purchased for $500 or 25 cop ies for S10.O0.
 The neat and good looking ap- pearance of the booklet has far surpassed all expectations of those who have been busily engaged for the past six months in preparing it for publication. Several minor changes were made in the orig inal plans to allow for additional advertising and more articles, which have bettered the booklet in every way
 Plans are under way by the Chamber of Commerce 10 distri- bute booklets turnout the United States, in schools, commercial clubs libraries, and every available place where information is sought on places of interest or of unknown knowledge Already several let ters have been received here from different sections of the country one from one of the southern states and another from Texas, wishing to nave copy or two mailed along with bill for same.

Mining, Airplanes! A description and literal explana- tion of Nome, Fishing; Furs and fur farming, Roads, Fairs! Rein deer. Anthropology- all are includ ed as subjects in this book, togeth CT with wonderful pictures.
 Two maps are features of the tnok-one showing Nome in re- iatiou to the rest of Alaska, on the international route of aerial travel and also in relationship to Canada The United States. Soviet Siberia and Japan. The air routes taken by Post and Gatty thru
 Nome on their world flight! Lind berghs' line of flight thru Nome lb tue VI ItIIl. Al otltIi pl'h IlS Ill from Seattle thru Nome, refuelng, to Tokyo! Commercial routes: all are shown This makes an attrac- tive and live-wire cover design. The second map is one showing road construction on Seward Pen insula and outlining a program of extension and expansion, ap- bearing in the center of the book.
 All in all. we feel the Chamber has a real piece of advertising in this booklet and if used pro- perly and distributed in the right places should bring Nome and northwestern Alaska a great deal of publicity. Nome has in the past been known thruout the world as the greatest publicity town in AL aska, both in News and gold min ing. Idiotically believed by some, Nome instead of going backward is steadily progressing and forg- ing to the front! If any one re- members clearly how Lindbergh made flight thru Latin America and the southern States, they might possibly see some connection with his flight thru Nome, and the fact that Pan American Air ways followed him in both cases in the esta ablishing of big air
