Friedrich Trump called his business in Bennett, a town that sprang up because of the Klondike Gold Rush, the Arctic Restaurant & Hotel.

The elder Trump, a German immigrant, cooked and served food inside the Arctic to Americans and Canadians heading to goldfields in the Yukon. He made enough cash to sow the seeds for the future Trump empire.

(Friedrich) and a business partner erected a canteen on the route and called it the Arctic Restaurant & Hotel. Their specialty was roadkill.

Newspaper ads at the time mentioned private suites for ladies and scales for patrons to weigh gold — if they preferred to pay for services that way.
