DISTRIBUTION DOUGH
NEW YORK, May 25.—Control of
production and distribution of all the
dough used in the bakeries of the
German Empire by the Imperial
Grain Committee is announced in the
following report sent out from Berlin
by the Wolff News Bureau.
“The temporary scarcities of, the
necessities of life, due In a small de
gree to the large and entirely unnec
essary ‘fear purchases’ made by mid
dle men and consumers has caused
the Imperial / Grain Committee to
make an arrangement with the As
sociation of German Manufacturers
of Dough Products of Frankfurt-on
the-Main whereby, in order to see
that the people's wants are supplied,
the combined outputs of all the dougn
making factories must be placed ct
the disposition of the Imperial Grain
Committee until further notice.
“The Imperial Grain Committee
will allow the dough products to be
sent on to the district associations
only, and then in accordance with the
population of the district and the con
ditions obtaining there. Through this
method of distribution an equitable
allotment of dough will be insured,
something that will be primarily to
the advantage of the less prosperous
part of the population.
“The reasons why the middleman
cannot be allowed the same freedom
of action as in times of peace are to
be found in the conditions and exig
encies due to the war. It is therefore
to be expected that the patriotic in
telligence of those concerned will
cause them to submit to these neces
sities. The consumers must also take
'he.se conditions into account so far
is to postpone their requests for the
delivery of certain kinds of goods and
remain content with the kinds that
are obtainable.”
The majorities of the smaller bak
eries in Germany do not manufacture
t heir own dough, but buy it ready
made from the big dough-making
concerns in larger cities.

Stop that Infernal Racket

A careful and thorough investigation of the possibilities 6f engaging profitably in the bus
iness of canning clams has convinced us that the proposition is sound and offers excellent re
turns on a moderate investment.
To that end we have decided to organize a Company to be known as the Alaska Packing
Company with a capital stock of $30,000, consisting of 3000 shares of the par value of $10.00
each of which 2000 shares will be treasury stock.
. The object of the Company will be the canning and packing of all the sea products of
Prince William Sound, but the principal product canned will be the clam, of which there is
a great abundance. *• »
Before taking the proposition outside where capital can always be raised for anything of
merit, we offer the people of Valdez 1000 shares at par, payable as follows:
25 per cent on Application;
25 per cent on July 1, 1916';
25 per cent on August 1, 1916;
25 per cent on September 1, 1916.
Stock to be issued when final payment is made. Applications for stock will be received at
the office of the Company over the Owl Drug Sstore at any time before June 1st.
Subscription to this stock is not in any sense a gamble and should not be confused with
mining stocks which generally result in either big returns or a total loss of the amount in
vested.
We offer1 *a sound investment which promises good returns at once with possibilities that
are unlimited. This is the great opportunity to keep here in Valdez some of the money which
is taken out of the country every year by the various packers who finance their propositions
outside.
J It is a well-known fact that the profits from the sea products of Alaska are enormous,
equally well known that they are principally reaped by people who have never set foot
on Jklaskan soil.
We believe this is the best bona fide investment that has ever been offered to the public,
and that from this modest beginning we will build up a great big business in all the sea prod
ucts of Prince William .Sound, and that money that would otherwise go to the States will be
kept right here in Valdez.
Come in and investigate. We will gladly go over our figures with any one, and if you are
not convinced as we have been convinced that this is a sure, safe and sound investment, we do
not want you to subscribe.
