Notes:
John Argetshon worked for the Department of the Interior, Alaska Public Works. He was an civil engineer who did quality control. His office was in one of the AJ mine shacks on South Franklin Street near where Taku Smokeries is now. The sign hung at his office. It was probably removed in 1959 when Alaska became a state.
