r;:i l> KI RS IN THE NORTHWEST and all wc ask of you Mr. Shipper
U t» gixe u* the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that
x\0 pay more for furs and make quicker returns than you can get any
xvhcie in the country. We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and
_ .. m ■ e . .11 »
l*a\o built tin a very extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all
parts of the United States, Canada and in a great many European Cities.
lb shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaskan industry but
\o\i are helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.

> m a hotter price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS
THE SAME DAY SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired when your shipment amounts to $100.00 or more, we will
wire our bid and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense *
and we "ill ship to any place you designate.
% All we ask of you is to he fair with yourself as well as with us and r
• make us a trial shipment, the result wilt make you a steady shipper.
