JUNEAU (AP) - Gov. William Egan said yesterday the Elks magazine has assured him it will no longer accept misleading advertisements picturing Alaska as a land of plentiful employment and high pay scales.
Egan said James Nicholson, general manager of the Elks magazine, said the advertisements "by some chance, got by us."
"We have felt that we have been, in the past, quite critical in the acceptance of advertisements for the Elks magazine and, of course, regret that this good record has been marred by the acceptance of the particular advertisement referred to." Nicholson said in a letter to Egan.
The Attorney Generals of New York and New Jersey previously advised Egan that the firm placing the misleading ads had agreed to terminate the advertisements.
