Cold Storage lockers Are Coming To Kodiak

Are Coming To kodiok
 How soon depends entirely up on you-the people of Kodiak. The Government IS ready to push this project through and it's now up to us. OK FOLKS LET'S GET FER ROLLING.
 The original plan IS for 25O lockers as a starter. The first re- quirement of the War Production Board is that we deposit in the Bank of Kodiak the equivalent of one years rental on 80 per cent of this number-in other words, we must rent 200 lockers at this time. The money will be held in a separate fund in the Bank of Kodiak as a guarantee to the Government that we are really interested in obtaining these facilities. As soon as we top the mark of 200 a telegram to REA at St. Louis starts the ball in motion.
 Complete details of the plans are not yet available but roughly the lockers are of two types door and drawer with a capacity of from 225 to 300 pounds each. They will be approximately 20 wide, F high, 30 deep and of steel construction with indlvid- ual keys. Kept at temperature of 3S degrees they will allow for the storage of both quick-frozen foods as we'll as fresh fruits and vegetables.
 In addition to the lockers there will be open bin storage for several thousand pounds of bulk In combination with the lockers there will be, of course, a quick-freezing unit, service charge for which will be in the neighborhood of 2-3c per pound.
 Send the men folks on fishing and hunting trips and quick freeze the proceeds! Double your buying of fresh foods from local markets and store them at safe temperatures until used! Help Uncle Sam by trying Victory garden next spring and store your pickings where they will keep!
 The sooner we all get back of this the sooner we get results. Drop in at the IKEA office be- tween l and 4 pm any weekday your pen and checkbook sell you any number from one to a dozen.
