Information from Digital Bob:
SEPTEMBER 23, 1943 — Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bloedhorn, in the jewelry business in Alaska for the past 35 years, have sold their jewelry and curio shop on Franklin Street to Mr. and Mrs. George Osborne, also pioneers of Alaska. Mr. Bloedhorn opened his first jewelry store in 1908 in Douglas and continued there until 1917 when the Treadwell mine caved in. He and Mrs. Bloedhorn then moved to Cordova where they operated a jewelry store until 1931 when they moved to Juneau and opened the present store. Mr. Osborne was the first jeweler to land on the beach in Nome in 1899. Since then he has had jewelry stores in Cordova, Juneau and Anchorage.
