The geological suiVeyTs ad* an* j

do not paint a glowing picture of ilv • j

copper is at a low ebb, and the ii »nio- j
diate futuie offers but little encou j
ugeniont to those v ho study the sit;

has shrunk to an ttnhcard-of-degf •
and tin* cost of production has ri.w
enormously. Obviously, th.is condita

»s to give us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that
we pay more for furs and make quicker returns than you can get any
where in the country. We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and
have built up a very extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all
* parts of the United States, Canada and in a great many European Cities. 4
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaskan industry but *
you are helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska. ’
We eliminate the middleman entirely as we buy direct from the trap- 4
per and trader and sell direct to the consumer, thus we are able to pay '
you a better price thnn you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS ’
THE SAME DAY SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
D dcsirtd when your shipment amounts to $100.00 or more, we will ’
wire our bid and if not entirely satis actory you may wire at our expense *
and we will ship li> any place you designate. *
Al! we ask of you is to be fail with yourself as well as with us and ’
make us a trial shipment, the result will make you a steady shipper. •
