When Amundsen asked the United States for the loan of a pilot in 1924 for his expedition Byrd was the first to volunteer but the navy department turned him down because he was a mar- ried man.

Offers For Sale At Par $75,000 Seven Per Cent Coupon Gold Bonds Denominations of $500 and $1000 Maturities 1 to 10 Ye Interest Payable Semi-annually at the First National Bank These bonds arc seeured by a first mortgage on all the property of the Company including the present cold storage plant and its lease from the City of Juneau, and the new cold storage plant which will be erected on the new site of the Company, partly from the preceeds of the sale of these bonds, and partly from cash already realized from the sale of the Company’s stock. ' The new plant site which the company already owns has a front- age of 235 feet on I'ront Street, a depth of 250 feet from Front Street to the deep waters of Gastineau Channel, and a frontage of 320 feet along Gastineau Channel. The security for these bonds will consist of the present cold storage plant, land already owned by the company, and the new plant to be erected and machincry to be installed, and it will have a value of ap- proximately $220,000, which is almost three times the total amount of the bond issue. The present plant has a capacity of 200,000 pounds and the new plant will havé a capacity of 1,000,000 pounds. Average earnings of present plant for past three years have been $9,270.05, which alone is almost sufficient to pay all interest charges and retire the bonds as they ' mature; but with the capacity increased five fold, the earnings should increase in proportion so that the bonds will be well secured and will be a very attractive investment. Full printed prospectus may be had on application at the oilice of the Company or at the First National Bank or the B. M. Behrends Bank, at cither of which places bonds may now be obtained. na | re m { until 2 | p the Ped Lava 1 With Pop 'c«JR ORI 1S OF THE : NIGHEST GRADE -- S0 WERE 501 CTING 5 3 YOUR.
