IMPORTANCE OF FUR
 RAISING RECOGNIZED
Search for Prime PeIfs Gains Impetus as Wild
 Supply Diminishes

The search for fur goes on With additional impetus each year as the wild supply diminishes natur- ally, with an increasing family of man taking over it's domain. The fur farming industry must produce fur in ever increasing amounts to satisfy the demand. The field en- larges each year with the intro duction of new animals and color phases
 Fur farming as an industry was recognized by the Russians approx imately 1O4 years ago when they transplanted blue foxes from the PribilofS to the Aleutian Islands With modification of methods the islands have continued to produce fur to the present date.
 The Federal Government, several States, and the Territory of AL aska, recognizing the importance of fur production, have recently established experiment stations to assist in solving it's problems. Con- struction was started at the Pet ersburg Station during July, 1888.
 Marten Require Study
 Fur bearing animals kept at the station include foxes, marten anc mink. Very little success has as yet been enjoyed by those raising

material all ready to start work, too"
 MT. Peterson is an old hand at Alaskan construction. His first job in the Territory was on the Baranof Hotel when he was employed by the original builder of the first Gold stein Building.
 Alaska Construction Co.,, he said, was organized primarily for a Fed eral Public Housing project at Hoon- ah. There, the company has erected 30 individual houses, powerhouse equipped with an electric generator, church, and constructed the streets, walks, sewers, water and electrical facilities.
 The company also erected the Channel Apartments on Willoughby Avenue here. The project contains three buildings. each containing 10 one, two and three bedroom apart ments. The construction is of wood and plaster
 MT. Peterson conceded that AL askan construction was difficult The shipping difficulties are tre- mendous. Not only must the ma terial be shipped from Outside but when it gets here, in many cases, it must be transshipped at almost the cost of importing it from Seattle"
 Shipping, he felt, was the chief barrier to establishment of home in- dustry in the territory. Plants can be erected but how are they going to get the stuff to their customers. "
 In spite of these barriers, MT. Pet erson is confident there will be more new building operations in the Ter i ritory We hear rumors every day of large building projects he said. While they are rumors they must have some background. At any rate we are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping"

MINK FARMING IS NATURAL INDUSTRY IN SALMON PLENTY ALASKA

the difficulty to get reproduction in captivity is basically due to a faulty diet.
 The majority of foxes are still produced on the islands where the animals mate, den and raise their filters near the beaches. They pick up considerable essential food as the tide ebbs Modification of island methods will be made as time gees on.
 The pen ranch offers many ad- Vantages and in time will rival the island method in popularity Improved wire floored furring pens will produce fur superior to that from the island ranches as meth ods improve.
 Mink a Natural
 Mink ranching continues to ex- pand and no area in the world can rival the opportunities avail able in Alaska. Fish, comprising by far the greater portion of the

ration may be caught by the rancher or purchased from fisher men.
 Mink raising is an industry par ticularly suitable to Alaska, and in which a considerable number of our people are engaged. It is Q particularly adaptable type of fur farming for Alaska because mink can be raised entirely upon fish vegetables, and cereal. The superb ority of ranch raised fur is an es- tablished fact
 The diminishing supply of fur producing predatory animals will continue to decrease as civilization spreads to the remote districts.
 The success of fur farming de- rends primarily upon the type of men engaged in the business. They should start with good breeding stock, in a proper location, and then must exercise excellent judg- ment for the entire year in feeding,

 The all-concrete basement pro- vides adequate space for workshops and storerooms, besides containing the large central heating plant for the building. Also located in the basement is owner Charles Gold stein's large refrigerated fur storage vault.
 Although interior partitions, eX- cept main bearing walls, are of wood | construction which can facilitate re- division of office space to suit the requirements of tenants, the fire hazard of the old wood floor and wood partitions within a concrete shell that was the former building, has been done away with by con- structing each level of the building 1 eio c biiAt NAtilAAl SOliSlClC olaO HUI D. In addition to the elevators, two l stairways-one opening onto the en- trance foyer, the second upon Sec ond street at the rear of the build | ing, provide exits All interior walls are finished with hard sand-plas- | ter
 An unusual feature of the upper floors occupied by the Alaska Native Service are the large, unpartitioneo lengths of office space tailored tc fit the needs of that agency fol stenographic and drafting rooms
 Although much of the materials used in reconstruction of the Gold stein Building had to be shipped ir from the States, local products such as Alaska lumber, screened Alaska sand and gravel, were used to as great an extent as possible. Loca labor was used in all cases where the needed skills were obtainable
 A comparison of pictures, of the present Goldstein Building and oi 1 the bleak, blackened skeleton that remained after the embers of the fire that destroyed the old hac cooled, portrays a transformation that appears miraculous.

NEW STORE PROVIDES
 CUST0MERS' FACILITIES
Immense Cold Storage Vault One of Finest on
 Pacific Coast

His wholesale fur business now we'll established and steadily pro- crossing, Charles Goldstein $ now intent upon building up his retail fur business to pre-eminence in Alaska.
 That aim has governed the design and outfitting of the Charles Gold stein Fur Store on the street floor of the Goldstein Building here Hay ing suffered too long from cramped quarters forced upon him by the fire that wiped out his old store and splendid retail fur stock, Goldstein has assured himself plenty of space in his rebuilt building here.
 Everything caguht in Alaska" is to be found in his retail store. That is Charles Goldstein's boast; boast that he backs up. Everything caught in Alaska is to be seen there, truly in made-up form or in raw state, as the shopper chooses. In addition, furs from other parts of the world everything valuable and wanted n furs-is to be seen there, too. That is, with the exception of furs iron other parts of the world which com pete with Alaska's own native fun products. No such furs as the last are to be found there-eVer.
 To assure that his furs will always be offered in the very finest condi- tion, Charles Goldstein has incor- porated in his reconstructed build ing here what is the largest and finest cold storage fur vault in Alaska and one of the largest and finest on the Pacific Coast Of all fireproof concrete and steel con- struction, this vault-located across the rear of the basement of the building below the Goldstein store is 24 feet by 60 feet in dimen-

square feet, being 85 feet deep by 30 feet in width.
 The move from the shops former location on Second St. was prompted by the need for more display and work space. Increased building ac- tivity and the expansion of the town make it imperative to stock larger variety of items," MT. Parsons said. We will be prepared to offer a complete electrical service in Ju- neau"
 MT. Parsons has been in business since 1889 when he resigned from the Alaska Electric Light and Pow CT Co. to open the Westinghouse leadership here. Before that he had been a salesman for the power com- pany seven years and had operated his own electrical contracting busi- ness in Seattle before coming to Alaska.
 In 1941 he opened a store in Sitka at the request of the Navy base there. and personally operated the venture through 1942.
 He has been active as an electri- cal contractor, having wired the new Goldstein Building, federal hous- ing project and number of local residences.
 Active in civic circles, he has act ed as Mayor of Juneau and was former member of the city council.

 Location Important
 A great variation in weather is encountered in different portions of Alaska, but the coast with it's slight fluctuation in tempa8ature is ideal. Extremes of eitheE heat or cold make caring for thT ani- mals more difficult and are not desirable Accessibility of a var iety of fish is of greatest impor- tance and this should be the de- termining factor in locating ranch. Accessibility of schools, sup plies and mail are also of suffici- ent importance to warrant iinves-

 GREAT EXPANSION OF RETAIL BUSINESS

sions. Large enough to hold the thousands of raw furs that Gold steins wholesale business frequently requires him to have on hand, large enough to hold too his entire retail stock and also large enough to pro- vide finest fur storage service to local fur coat owners.
 By fully automatic control, this dead-air vault maintains a constant inside temperature of 29 degrees above zero, fahrenheit-the perfect temperature for furs. Racks are provided to hold easily 500 gar ments besides Goldstein's own stock. Tn addition, there's plenty more space for high piles of raw furs gathered from all parts of Alaska and being readied for shipment to the fur markets in the States; ship nents to be made after he has se- lected the finest of them for sale here to his own customers.
 Already this year, since comple- ton of the building, Goldstein has had upward of half million dollars worth of raw furs stored at one time in his big new vault-between 10 and 12 thousand pelts piled there all 1t the same time. marten, mink muskrat, lynx, fox, otter, beaver ermine; all prime Alaska furs-the worlds choicest
 To further expand the service he has to offer his customers at his store here, Goldstein, as soon as the highly skilled personnel re- 1uired is available, plans to put in a
 ull fur manufacturing, remodelling,
 leaning and glazing department. Fine raw furs may then be selected in his store and will be made-up lere exactly to the purchasers de- sire. Only for tanning will the pelts nave to be sent outside, for only in the tanning centers around New York is that art developed to it's highest degree.
 But. though Charles Goldstein has treat plans for his retail business, wholesale dealing in furs undoubt- edly will remain the bulk of his business. He will always continue to snip and solicit furs from all over Alaska = with No shipment. too small CT tco large" still his slogan.

Features of Reconstructed
 GoIdstein Building Pointed Out by Arthiiett H. B. Foss

Interesting features Of construc- tion and design of the rebuilt Gold stein Building are pointed out by Harold B. Foss, of Foss and Nal colm, Juneau architectural firm. Plans for reconstruction of the fire razed building into the modern new structure that has now been reared within the four walls of the old were in charge of MT. Foss.
 Modern in appearance and facili- ties, the present building embodies many latest improvements in con- struc;ion. Foss said. Removal of the old sheet metal cornice and ginger bread" from the street facades of the building allowed for clear un broken sweep of exterior wall in the spirit of modern times. Chief orna- mentation consists of a series of medallions aligned just below the crest of the building.
 The new exterior walls are smoothly finished in cement plaster diII dAl 10 III AibAib eOAAN ANAANAAAS w an impression of airiness.
 Finish of the main entrance to the building is natural walnut, while floors within the building are cov- cred with asphalt tile which not only cushions the step and deadens sounds but is notably long lived and easily kept clean.
 Each of the stores on the main floor is stepped down with the grade of Seward Street, so that each is entered at sidewalk level. The main passenger lift, an Otis" ele- vator with an operator on duty through the business hours, is of a most widely approved type, suffi- ciently speedy to meet all demands of five-story building and with a high factor of safety. This elevator is also fully automatically con- trolled

 Our Seattle office was able to expedite most of our material, but some shortages existed all over the United States and we just couldn't get the stuff.
 "On top of that, just as we were ready to start construction the fish ing season opened and all the available manpower went fishing. We had to import labor from Se- attle and pay passage to the job"
 "Then when we were ready to start stuccoing the exterior of the building the temperature dropped below freezing. We had men and
