At a short special session of the
Juneau City Council yesterday, it
was decided to take a siX-months
option on two lots on the northeast
corner Of Ninth and E streets as a
site for the Sturm Lockers, in case
they must be removed from the ABB
Hall city property.
Sturm still has over two years to
go on his current five-yeaI lease.
When a decision by the Territory is
made to take over the property on
which the ABB Hall stands for the
site of the proposed Alaska Office
Building, Sturm will have 80 days
in which to erect a new building
and move in. If and when this be-
comes necessary, the city will turn
the lots over to Sturm on damages
payable for breaking the lease.

1t is hoped that the entire S.

Alaska Public Works program for

ferred with officials of the Office
of Territories in the Department Of
Interior, on the problems and pro-
gram of his agency.

Tourist Industry
Development OF the tourist in
dustry has as much Importance to
everyone in Alaska as every other
business, George Sundborg told the
Business and Professional Women.
"A business greater than the
Sl0O,OO0,OO0 fisheries business can
be developed from an organized
tourist business" Sundborg, head
OF the Alaska Development Beard
said.
A survey indicated that tourists
last year spent S25,OOo,000 on trips
to Alaska, that while most of this
money went to transportation com
panieS outside, $S,000,0oO was ac-
tually spent in cash in Alaska,
Sundborg said.
AlaSkans as individuals have done
nothing to develop the tourist in
dustry, and it is to tap this great
resource that the Alaska Visitors
Association, a non-profit group of
Alaska business men has been
formed, Sundborg explained.
Our scenery, big game, the Es-
kimos and northern lights of the
north, all of these bring tourists to
Alaska, but it is up to us to make
the tourist welcome, once he is
here Sundborg advised.
He suggested the formation of To-
cal groups to provide information
for tourists and entertainment for
them, once thy have arrived in
the north.
"Ine expe, isnce of Hawaii has
shown that money brought to the
islands by tourists is basic economy
money, and this, if properly devel-
oped would be the experience Oh
Alaska said the Development
Board head.
Help support the Alaska Wis
TORS Association" is Sundborg' S
advice to BPW members.
Guests at the club luncheon
included Mrs. Burdick, Miss Bess
O'Neill and Miss Minnie Goldstein,
who were guests of Mrs. Charles
Warner; Miss Margaret Fassett,
guest of Ethel Finlayson; Paul

mon, whose hostess was Louise

SPEAKERS
MAKE INTERESTING
MEET FOR bpW club

Three speakers, each with an
interesting subject to present drew
large attendance to the luncheon
meeting of the Business and Pro
iessional Women's Club in the
Baranof Terrace room Monday.
At the meeting, presided over
by President Kate Smith, the speak
jers, Chris EhrendJe.ch, Charles
Burdick and George Sdndborg
were introduced by Mrs. Elton Eng
strom.
Pitfalls of Small Business OPP
Grafton" was the topic on which
Mr.. Ehrendreich addressed the
BPW.
ITO start a business, one must
have more than Just an idea,
Ehrendreich told the business wo-
men. Finances are necessary
sufficient finances to carry bust
ness along for several months until
it is establihed.
"One must learn to buy and to
sell. Gradually. it is the little busi-
ness of today that becomes the big
business of tomorrow"
Mr.. Ehrendreich quoted Henry
Ford as saying that he owed his
success to having brains enough
ito hire people with more brains
than he had whenever an expert
was needed in his business.
Taxes have made necessary the
bookkeeping required of a business
today the accountant and tax ex-
pert told his audience. I'm 1913,
before the income tax, bookkeeping
was not as important as it is to-
day. Now, a company without pro-
per books, faces fines from the
Internal Revenue negligence tax
and a penalty for filing no returns.
AS final warning about starting
a business, Look before you leap,
Ehrendreich suggested.
Investment Angles
profitable Investments for Busi-
ness Women in Alaska" was Mr..
Burdick's subject and he, too, warn
ed the BPW that the investment
field sis full of pitfalls and BOBBY
traps"
Three classes of investments, Ilr
Burdick discussed, were in bonds,
in good common stocks and in
homes-and investment in homes,
he said, had paid the biggest diyl-
dends during the last few years.
Most small business investments
require venture capital, and it is not
easy for people who have saved
money from salary to risk venture
capital on a new industry" Bur
dick said.
However, once the decision is
made to invest in new industry,
these are the four things to con-
slider: First, is there a wide demand
for the product; second, will the
business show satisfactory profit;
third, is the management qualified
and fourth, is there adequate fin
ancing, enough capital to carry
through until business becomes
profitable.
THE answer to all of these ques-
tons must be yes, to insure safe
investment of venture capital" Mr..
Burdick advised.
I'm considering investment in an
old industry, the same study must
be made of its past history. First, its
profit record; second, dividend re
cord; third, has it a progressive
management and fourth, what are
possibilities of its future growth
Advice to the young investor? Mr.,
Burdick suggested that if people
started when they were young to
buy each year a few shares Of
good stocks, to continue buying SO
that the stocks would average out,
