THE HOME MERCHANT.
THE HOME MERCHANT: who is he?
He is the man w ho gives you credit when you are fi
nanciallv embarrassed and carries vour account when you
are unable to pay.
He is the man that gives vou back vour money or
makes exchanges when v< u are not satisfied with what
you have bought.
He is the man who stands back of his guarantee and
makes restoration of all losses you may sustain on goods
vou mav buv from him.
% * *
He is the man who meets \ ou at the door with a hand
shake and inquires after "Mary and the children" and
"how the measles left Tommy." And lets you out with a
message of good cheer for the family and maybe a pack
age of candy for the kids.
He is the man who takes a neighborly interest in you
and vour affairs.
%
He is the man who with his employees lives in your
city and spends his money with you. and other businesses
of the citv.
%
He is the man who helps you pay taxes to support the
schools, maintain the streets, police and fire department,
and other public institutions.
He is the man who in sickness and in health is still
your friend and willing to take a chance on your paying
him. '•••
He is the man whose name is on every subscription
list and who gives cheerfully to all civic propositions.
He is your home merchant—your friend—your neigh
i bor-—your helper in the hour of adversity; who is equally
interested with you in upbuilding the town.
He FAIR to him—your friend and neighbor; buy ini
Seward.
Another thing! Many of the food rules now in vogue
en the outside are not applicable to Alaska, where many
persons residing in outlying points are compelled to pur
chase provisions for several months ahead or go without
entirely. For instance, to restrict the man living one
I
hundred or even fifty miles back from a trading post, as a ‘
great many do, to five pounds of sugar would be a hard-i
.ship which the food commission had no intention of im
posing in its general order. Also, to permit retail dealers
to purchase but five sasks of sugar at a time would work
another hardship in Alaska, where, at certain times of the
year, steamers from the markets of the south are two
I weeks or more apart.—(Douglas Island News.)
Lowell Creek will be improved during the coming
months and the citizens can rest assured of that fact.
There was enough said at the special meeting in the coun
* oil chambers Monday night to show which wav the wind is
blowing. There is a division regarding whether the flume
shall be of concrete or wood. If the sentiment becomes
(oo strained one wav or the other, the costs and the essen
t’al features should be thoroughly placed before the pub
lic and if necessary put to a vote.
Sometimes there is plenty of news and sometimes
there is none, but no matter, the average citizen always
looks for plenty of news in the paper and roars when
there is none. .Just for good luck some day, go around the
city and ask people “what do you know?” After you
Mve been doing this for about four or five hours write it
down and see what you did get. You will be surprised at
vour own failure to have secured much.

The new telephone directory of Seward is an indicator
of the times here. There are more residence phones list
ed and more business phones than for the past four years.
That ought to be a knock to the knocker.
“All thrift stamps are sold out by the banks.” That
head on a news item in the Gateway indicates that there
are many in Seward who are quietly doing “their hit” for
the government.
Another thing—what the Hek are we to use to drink
with a cheese sandwich now that thev have taken awav
the beer? \ *
