Through mud, gravel, ice or snow—whether working roads, ditching or win- drowing snow at the City airport—the Motor Grader is always on the go. Versatility of blade, plus traction—""we didn't have to use chains on the No. 12 in the snow last year"—are features that Mr. Brislawn particularly likes. Anchorage also owns a''Caterpillar’ No. 10 Motor Grader, a Twenty-Five, a “Caterpillar’ Diesel D13000 Engine and a D4 Diesel Tractor with Bulldozer. “We've standardized on ‘Caterpillar’ equipment because of its ability to do the job and because of the excellent service we get from our ‘Caterpillar’ Dealer.” It's our aim fo see that all **Caterpillar’’ owners get the same kind of "'excel- lent service” Mr. Brislawn has experienced. So we've located *'Caterpillar" stores in five strategic spots in the Territory. In any one you'll find sure- fire parts and repair service as well as the latest information on new *'Caterpillar’’ products. received to| MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1947 pany and a new contract made.|Millan Company of $721.83 I had notified the Comptroller|less the further sum ofe $340.
