Office 1st Ave. and Stedman NOME, ^ ALASKA. ...I ALASKA STEAMSHIP CO. NOME • v.'L ' .■ AN OPEN LETTER NOVEMBER 7th, 1934. TO THE PEOPLE OF NOME : Believing it is pardonable, we take pride in bringing to your attention the service we have given over a period of many years to Nome, and particularly the service given you since the disastrous Are which destroyed practically aU of this city’s business section. Within twenty four hours after the Are started our fast steel cargo and passenger steamer the S. S. Dellwood, was on berth ready to receive cargo for Nome. She was loaded with all dispatch and when ready was sailed from Seattle to Nome. Immediately the S. S. Dellwood sailed, another of our steel car go steamers, the S. S. Depere, was put on berth to take care of all the overAow cargo of the S. S. Dellwood’s and to accept any new cargo offered. We want to particularly point out the speed with which these ships were loaded and sailed. Upon arrival here the two vessels discharged their cargoes with all dispatch and have now returned to Seattle. The United States Government gave to Nome for emergency relief purposes the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. The ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY, in cutting their freight rates in half, contributed practically the ^ame amount. With that, this company, if it could be possible, gave even more prompt and better service than ever before. This service was badly needed to help recon struct Nome before winter weather set in. It was given gladly and whole heart edly and we are proud that we did give it. To give Nome people full opportunity to order needed goods, after all other steamers had sailed for Nome, our S. S. VICTORIA sailed later than she has for many years past She has discharged her cargo for Nome and is now nearing Seattle, the termination of her voyage. Nome, rising Phoenix like from the ashes, is an exemplication of the spirit of the far north showing the will to conquer under the hardest of con ditions. We are proud to be associated with you and to have had a part in the re building and reconstruction of a bigger and better Nome. We are proud to have had such an extensive part in this work and we would like to compliment you upon your integrity, your spirit, your strong heartedness, and place with it the sincere hope that you wiU never again be stricken as of this recent Are. ) Most sincerely, ^ ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY Jas. P. Daly, Agent.
