1944
Alaska's larger cities will provide un ·
limited opportunities for op erators after the
war. At prese nt only a handful of operators
are active in the territory. T ravel is a
problem for the operators in lower Alask a
for they must use air or water to get from
town to town. Further north limited high-
ways and the Alaskan railway provide ad-
ditional means of getting from place to
place. However, the over·all pi cture has
n ever been parti cularly interesting to the
operator and the few now operatin g have
been content to confin e their operations
to a very limited a rea. The last tim e 1 was
in Alaska, prior to the War, 1 was amazed
at the numb er of machines location-owned.
Old "clunks", a dozen years old, were still
at work, and nary an operator within hun·
dreds of miles. All of this is doomed to be
chan ged in the years ahead.
After the war the Al aska Hi ghway, built
and paid for by the United States, will be
turned over to Canada, and along its many
miles in the Dominion will be coin rna ·
chine opportunities.
Shangri-La valleys, glaciers, snow·covered
mountain pea ks, stately for ests of spruce
and pine, as far as one can see in all di-
rections, and uncountable lakes of glim.
mering azure will greet the eye of the pio-
neering operator. And, if h e is inclined to
fish and hunt, he' ll find a veritabl e para·
di se. 1 have seen fi sh so thick in a strea m
that a boat could not be rowed. Anyon e
could merely lean down and lift out a 10
or 12 pound salmon.
The highway's main use is not to be for
pleasure touring exclusively after th e war.
It will be a gigantic artery snakin g its
way over vast areas of Canada and Alaska,
connecting industrial areas over which sup·
pli es can be transported with great speed.
He's gone to war-this ILCO COIN MACHINE LOCK-
but he learned to be a tough little fighter in the years he
stood guard over your coin machine profits. He'll be even
tougher and better when the war is over. Remember that!
OK before the war-even better after the war!

The highway opens up millions of square
miles, a new fronti er for pioneers. When
the war is over and the post-war problems
of rehabilitation settled, the world will
turn its attention to the great Northwest
wh ere lies Alaska's and Canada's great
wealth of minerals, lumb er, furs and a
hundred other important industrial items.
Just as the fertile prairies offered op·
portunities in the birth of the West, so may
this untapped country be developed when
the peace of the world is assured, and men
turn to their task of nation building. The
operator with an eye to the future and
new and profitable expansion on new fron·
tiers will not forget
ALASKA!
