A FOREWORD jj
T<> the People of Seward and Vicinity I
During 1915 there was a gradual and steady improve- |
mcnt in almost all lines ot business in the United States , I
over the previous year. 1916 promises to be a banner year |
for the whole country. ‘,
Business in all lines held up well for Seward and , I
vicinity, bank deposits during 1915 reached a total of |
twice as much as at any previous period.
The business of this bank for 1915 has been exception- I
I ally satisfactory, and we are grateful to our customers I
and the general public for the confidence and good will
that has been manifested toward us to such an unusual I
degree. We enter the new year more resourceful and
better equipped than we have ever been to serve the finan- I
cial needs of our customers. ;
AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING |
1916 is opening with a bright outlook for Seward and |
the tributary country. I
The ranchers who have taken up homesteads in this
part of Alaska will soon have transportation facilities and
an outlet for their products; many of tlje ranches will be
' subdivided making room for more people and insuring |
better and more intensive farming. » |
Many saw mills and logging camps will be busy and I
employ many men supplying lumber and ties toi the con
struction of the Government Railroad. Almost S3,000,
000.00 will be spent by the Government on railroad work
this year in Seward and country tributary to this place.
Much outside capital will come here this year seeking in
vestments. |
Alaska has passed thru its first period ot mining I
development. It is entering upon its real, important and
permanent expansion with the opening and the doelop
I ment of its great lode mines, only a very few ot which are
yet among the producing properties, where there will in
time be thousands.
The outlook for Seward in 1916 is so bright that our
people should step into it with a spirit of enthusiasm and
with a feeling that things are coming our way.

t here s one rubber boot

f HIPRESS
White Boot
“With the Red-Line ’round the Top”
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“IIITRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich “IMPRESS” Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! A ou don t have to halt
sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual service is that
“HIPRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires weldni
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart — they can’t leak, peel, crack or split! I hey re comfort
able, too-shaped to the foot while it’s working. We promise that once you start
wearing White “IUPRKSS” you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it lias a Red-Line ’round the Top,

If your coal dealer de

ters of a ton of coal
and charged you for a
full ton, you would ob

the bill. The same
principle applies in
the fuel consumption
of a heater—why use a

quarter of your
