THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA PAGE TWO POST WAR PLANS e SR el R B are being built around you . . . . One hears a great deal these days, about postwar plans and planning . . . We have been doing a good bit ourselves . . . It’s not strange that all our thoughts and plans have centered around you. Many months before the war’s end we had you, your needs, your likes and dislikes in mind when covering the important merchandise centers in the United States ... In working and planning with our manufacturers, designers, then and now, your needs are constantly uppermost ih our thoughts . . N Whether it be a pair of sheets, shoes, shirts, mittens, pirs or a lovely gown, a handsome suit or an original piece of millinery. We can promise this . .. Just as soon as these same manufact- urers ate in position to produce and deliver, all the exciting, wonderful merchandise which will come in time, it will be here for you and yours at Behrends . .. There will be new trends, new fabrics and materials, new innovations and, of course, many old friends will happily reappear For the present_and possibly the next few months to come, only a few of these new types will come . . . Merchandise is still very hard to secure, production is slow and the change back is not as rapid as anyone had hoped . .. In many ways we are' still in quite an enviably position here . . . You have been wonderfully kind and patient these past years and we are truly grateful . .. R st assured we will be doing pur utmost for your best interests in the postwar world.
