...interesting survival of the Alaskan gold rush of 1848 is the fact that no one in the North ever asks you where you are from. This is a result of the influx of a number of questionable characters during the gold strike, men whom it would have been dangerous to question. Nearly all of the trappers in Arctic Canada and in Alaska for that matter, are gold miners who entered the territory 28 years age and have not been able to leave it.

...especially in shoes, textiles and knit goods, it held its predominance until shortly after the War. Since then it has not progressed as have other sections of the country. It has even retrogressed in some instances. Chairman Owen D. Young of General Electric pictures this New England as the result of a social, industrial, political snobbishness. New Englanders go about in high stiff collars, each tending his own business. They should take off their collars and work together.- Such is his diagnosis.
