About Quality Made to Order Clothes
Labor represents seventy-five per cent of the cost of
the average garment.
There is a difference in the kind of labor put into
the clothes and it is not fully perceptible when new.
But after they have been worn a few months and
have been subjected to the stress of wear and the
elements, not until then is the true quality of work
' manship apparent.
Quality Clothes not only look well and wear well but
retain their shape to the last thread.
i
The high character of quality workmanship will win
your confidence..
Qualiiy Tailoring assures you of correct dress for all
occasions.
Delivery takes about five weeks—Orders for the
Fourth should be placed at once.
Prices range from $25.00 to $50.00.

CRESCENT SALESMAN
IS A LIVE WIRE
V. R. Gasps rd. rapresenttng the
Crescent Manufacturing Company of
Seattle, has been a visitor in town for
several days, visiting the various
merchants in behalf of his company.
Mr. Gaspard is a live wire, and not
content with demonstrating to the
storekeepers that the Crescent line is
all to the good, he has held demon
strations of the famous Crescent bak
ing powder and flavoring' extracts at
the homes of several of the ladies, at
which a number of the fair sex were
present. It was his intention to give
a demonstration before the school to-*
day, but the early arrival of the Ala
^neda, on which he was to go to the
westward, caused a change of plan.
He will return to Valdez in about a
week.
“HOOTS” MILLER IS TREED
BY ANGRY BEAR.
John Miller, who recently return
ed from Anchorage states that his
brother, “Hoots," well known to ev
ery Valdezan, had a thrilling experi
ence (for “Hoots”) recently. Upon
his arrival at the station, he went
into the woods on some errand for
the commission, and hearing a noise
in the bushes, climbed a tree, where
he remained for an hour and a half.
John says that “Hoots” climbed the
first 150 feet in 2 minutes less than
nothing, and the balance of the way
up made elevator-time. The men at
the camp claim that “Hoots" heard
no bear, but the latter claims that he
both heard and smelled bear. At any
rate, “Hoots” was missing an hour
and a half, and the tree he climbed
looked like a cyclone had struck it,
according to John.
