North To Alaska
Is Holiday Call
Color and Drama of Early
Days Art Still To Be Seen
There By the Traveller
Planning a holiday to Alaska
is a pleasant occupation which in
itself will provide delightful pro-
logue to the actual scenes of this
Northerly land, From the first,
the intending traveller is impres-
sed with the color and the drama
of the early days. The romance
of the gold rush period led to the
present development which has
proven the real value of what had
been considered a profitless folly
but which turned out to be one
of Nature's rich treasure houses.
It is not necessary to undertake
a lengthy course in the historic
before going to Alaska; once the
traveller hos entered the awe in-
spiring fjords leading to the ports
of Alaska, the very majesty of
the country appeals to him and
soon he will be eager to learn all
that is possible of the territory
and neighboring Yukon across the
Canadian border. •
It's An Accessible Place
Alaska has a distant sound, but
it is a most accessible place. Rail-
way connections to Vancouver
are numerous and comfortable.
At Vancouver, principal city and
chief port of British Columbia,
handsome craft of the Canadian
National Railways, operate cruis-

Ogden's. And Ogden's has a taste
all its own, a taste which comes
from its distinctive blend of choice
ripe tobaccos. Take a tip from old
timers and roll 'em with Ogden's.
