WILL LAUNCH CANNED SALMON
MERCHANDISING CAMPAIGN

The biggest merchandising con-
test ever launched on behalf of Al
aska,s Canned Salmon will be the
feature of the early spring cam
paign to promote the sale of this
product, August Buschmann, chair
man of the Canned Salmon Industry
advertising committee announced
today following a meeting Of the
committee in Seattle.
The contest, which Buschmann
declared was believed to be the lar
gest merchandising contest for gro
GERS to be carried on in the country
during early 1888, will run from
February % to April 8. A total OF
$50 cash prizes will be awarded
groeers for outstanding displays Of
canned salmon in retail stores.
" Modern merchandising practice
demonstrates that foods well dis
played sell rapidly. We believe that
at this time, the cumulative effect
of our national advertising on can
ned salmon can best be capitalized
on by persuading grocers to push
canned salmon during the Lenten
period. This contest is designed to
secure a maximum of retailer coop
Grafton with the Canned Salmon In
dustry in selling its product to con
sumers," Buschmann said.
Grand prize in the contest will be
$3.50 with two other grocers each
receiving $3.50 for outstanding dis
plays in their division. The contest
is divided into three groups accord
ing to size of the display entered.
All entrants will have an equal
chance to win the grand prize,
Buschmann said. The committee ex-
poets this contest to result in more
than a hundred thousand store dis
plays of three or more cases OF
canned salmon, materially stepping
up the retail movement of the pro
duct.
Extensive plans for advertising
this contest to grocers have been
prepared, Buschmann said.

ELECTRIC EYE LIGHT SYSTEM
FEATURE NEW GRADE SCHOOL

An electric eye lighting sys-
TEN. special activity rooms. and a
large social hall that includes a ten
foot stage, are some of the features
that comprise the new Grade School
Building at Anchorage.
The grade rooms are about p by
81 feet in dimension. Between each
two rooms in the first three grades
are activity rooms, or workshops
about 10 by % feet. They connect
direct to the elassrooms, and are
separated from them by glass par
titions. These small rooms serve as
workshops for primary students in
doing activity work. Each classroom
has built-in cupboards for library
books and school supplies The cell
ings are lined with cork for better
insulation against N p e IA u + e
changes and sound.
On the main floor are found four
class rooms, two activity rooms a
kindergarten suite. principals Of
flee, nurses quarters, and boys and
girls Iayatories.
The second floor is taken up en-
tirely with class rooms, a teachers
rest room, and one activity room.
The kindergarten quarters on the
first floor are complete throughout,
including separate layatory. Ad-
joining the kindergarten room is u
social hall about % by so feet, which
=, ,fFao4 =. a., ondiforf,Y,,, for tho
primary children. This room con
tains a stage, about 10 by 16 feet,
and is to be used for primary pro
grams, small group meetings, and
.socialized play.
The temperature of the rooms
will be individually controlled au-
tomatically by thermostats, thus in
surfing an even temperature in each
room. On the north side of the
building, the light is controlled by
an electric eye which automat-
ically turns lights on and off, ae-
eording to the need for artificial
light in the rooms.
All the school facilities are locat-
ed on the main floor and the second
floor. The basement contains only
the coal bin, boiler rooms, store
room and air conditioning equip
ment. Two boilers comprise the
heating equipment, which when
complete, will be entirely automatic.
Windows have been arranged to
provide a maximum of natural light
at all times. Each class room con-
tains or large windows. The
windows extend to within a few
inches of the ceiling, thus insuring
maximum lighting efficiency.
One of the striking features Of
tho now bnilding is the fact that
there are no steps outside of the
building, thereby eliminating dan.
gerous ice conditions. An attempt
has been made to incorporate all the
essential modern features in the
new building and to leave out al
the unesse ntials.
