SUPPORT LOCAL 3USINESS
A big department house in t hicago
is advertising in every Alaska news
paper which will take its advertise
ments, olYering to sell anything from a
needle to a locomotive at a low figure.
There is nod* ubt that the house can
do this, and it is equally certain that
the m< r« it soils her*‘ the more Alaska
dev elopment vvill drag.
Some time ago lb** Gateway received
a fi-inch advertisement from an agent
of this house. It was returned with
the statement that the figure offered
washes than halt the rate paid by
local merchants. i'his was true anil
the Gateway management hoped
therel v a *liiect refusal *o take the j
advertisement could he avoided. In
the last mail the advertisement came
again with a contract calling lor tluw
Gateway's regular rate. This has also!
been turned down with a indite Mate
iuent that the Gateway does not wish!
to help department houses take busi- j
ness aw ay from men who live here.
No public reference would have been
made to this had not the last issue ot !
the Valdez News contained an editorial
on the subject so sensible that it is
worth reproduction. The News says
in part:
•'Experience will teach the buyer
that if pays to see what you are pur
chasing instead of letting some *k> a
week clerk put up your order, for I
which you are compelled to pay in ad- i
vance. from a shoddy, stale *ud shop
worn stock of goods and ship it to you
or 4000 miies awav. with a halt
hundred circulars stating, in effect,
that if you don’t like the goods you can
nay the freight charges both ways and
send them back, when by again paying
the freight you will receive what you
want.
-The foundation of any community’s
prosperity is home indit-t ry, home busi
ness and home people. How much ot a
town would Valdez he if we depended
upon eastern department stores to in
vest their money here and to build it
