Biography of artist: "Josephine Crumrine is a young Alaska artist who lives in the state and specializes in painting dogs and animals. The most recent of Miss Crumrine's many exhibits was at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. In the dog portraits featured in this current series of menus, Miss Crumrine has captured the spirit of the Old Alaska when the chief mode of transportation was the husky—drawn sled. Her medium was pastels, here reproduced by four—color lithography."

"Cheechako"
Owned by Lieutenant Colonel Francis E. Maslin, Cheechako was the mascot of Elmendorf Field and Fort Richardson, at Anchorage. Miss Crumrine has captured the mischevious spirit which inspired the puppy to pilfer other tents and carry various belongings to his master's headquarters. He died in 1940 and was mourned by the whole post.
