Big Seattle Firm Going
to Prince Rupert
(From the Daily News)
The pacific. Net and Twine Co., of
Seattle, one of the largest dealers in
fishermen’s supplies oil the Pacific
Coast, will open up business in Prince
Rupert. The company realises the
importance of this port as » fishing
center and has decided that it is
essential that it should establish a bus
iness here. The new concern will op
erate in conjunction with the firm of
Edward l.ipsett. which has been repre
sented here for some time. The firm
will move into commodious quarters la
the Clapp building on Second Ave.
H. l.ipsett will continue to repre
sent the firm of Edward l.ipsett.
while Louis Saudstroin, who mini's
f"'m the Pacific Net and Twine Com
panv, will bo nssooiated with him.
Full lines of all supplies for
•«n and fishing boats will be carried
by the concern. The coining to this
port of the Pacific Net and Twine
Company is a most important move,
as it means that this large concern
is satisfied that Prince Rupert is to
become a much more important ren
ter than it i s been. It is r^--.
that the company is interested In many
independent boats, which, in future,
will outfit and be paid off here. Sim
liar concerns are seriously considering
the moving of their business In-re,
and there is no doubt but that the
next few months will see wonderful
progress made in the shifting of the
rente/- of the fishing business to the
north.
