Kraft must first advertise, to the public, of his in- tention to dispose of the two sta- | tions. Under a recent FCC ruling, ' radio stations must be sold by com- petitive bidding to the most quali- fied applicant and not necessarily to | the purchasers that the seller has selected $140,000 Deal Kraft revealed that he will receive $140,000 as the total purchase price for his two Alaskan radio stations He has desired, for some time, to dispose of these operations because | of his other interests in Washing- ton State which include the ope tion of two other radio stations, an advertising agency, the Alaska Life magazine, and a wholesale distribut- ing company. He has owned KINY since its construction here and ac- quired KTKN in 1942 Wagrer will pay $75,000 immedi- ately following FCC approval and $10,000 per vear for three years and $35000 at the conclusion of the fourth year. He has already de- livered a check for $5,000 to binmd the transaction. The stations had previously been offered for sale by Kraft who had asked $150,000 for the Juneau station and $100,000 for the Ketchikan outlet.

He built and still oper- ates KFQD at Anchorage. He has also receive authorization to build two additional stations which are now under construction. They will be at Fairbanks and Seward and to- gether, with these two Southeast Alaska outlets, will compose a five- station Alaskan network. Wagner stated that he plans no immediate changes for KINY or KTKN but hopes, through the com- bination of the five-station net- work, to be able to bring a national network affiliation to the Territory because of the simplication of sched- uling and selling time on the five stations. He sald that national advertisers have passed by Alaska because of the difficulty in co- ordinating independently operated stations, SRS S RETURN HOME AFTER TRIP TO TERRITORY Six Juneau visitors for the past week, friends of Mr. and Mrs. T.

A Corselette That Won't Drag Down! varners “FREE=LIFT” Le Gant Corselette combines the unhampered ease of a girdle and bra with the poised control of an all-in-one “FREE-LIFT” is just what its name implies . . a foundation that really lifts the bust, yet moves freely with you when you stretch, bend, or raise your arms high. The bra section “lifts free” from the front of the corselette (its really a fleating bra, semi-attached) so the bosom stays snugly pocketed in the bust cups. Easy on your shoulders because it lifts free, never drags down. Exquisite satin elastic front and back panels combine with diagon- al control two-way stretch sides, to make you feel free and poised. Extra long Talon in back for easy enfrance and exit. You'll Want to See This New LE GANT* In Our Corset Department Wm’ M Baranof Hotel Building 105 the Nicest Store in Town
