Representative of American Paper
Company Reviews Existing
Conditions.
,4The next three or four months
%
will see the crisis in the business
and industrial world of the United
States passed according to the op
inions of business leaders of the
Northwest,” said M. F. McDonnell,
Alaska representative of the Ameri
can Paper Company who returned4
to his home here today after a visit
of several weeks to Seattle and
Portland. In three or four months,
he said, itf is generally expected
that conditions will have settled and
business will again be on a solid
foundation.
Last year, said Mr. McDonnell,
was the best in the history of the
jobbing business, a greater volume
of sales being made than ever bn
fore. At present there is very little
being done in any line of business
and many factories have been shut
down or are working on half time.
In Seattle, he said, there is estimat
ed to be at least 7|000 idle men
and about that number in Portland
and similar conditions prevailing in
other western centers.
Money everywhere is tight ac
cording to Mr.-McDonnell, who said
he heard the President of the
Union Savings Bank at Seattle tell
a gathering of business men in that
city that this condition would pre
vail until Spring when he predicted
enewed prosperity and business and
ndustrial activity ., Wages, he saic
ire getting back to a normal am'
settled basis with prices also ap
proaching a npore nearly norma
stage. Seattle business houses, he
said, are advertising reduced price
•lothing^ sales which compare on e
oar with those being advertised by
Jie Juneau merchants.
In order to overcome the so-called
buyer's strike, said Mr. McDonnell,
• l
the big manufacturers and jobbers,
are guaranteeing prices for a cer
tain period, . that is in any instance!
where there is a decline within - a
stated period from prices at which
purchases are made the buyers will
be protected. In the paper industry,
newsprint and high 'grade book
paper prices which have declined
slightly are guaranteed for three
months by Western houses, but in
;he East the market price prevails.
.Vo yearly contract prices are ixang
guaranteed, he said. . .
The wholesale paper houses and
manufacturers of the Northwest,
said Mr. McDonnell, are watching
closely the development in the gulp
and paper industry in Alaska, . winch
.s expected to assume material pro
portions in the near future. t
Uncertainty.regarding the Alaska
fishing industry for the coming sea
son prevails among the cannery in

If if stated in Seattle, hesaid , that
not more than 20“ptr cent' at Ae
cazmeriee of; SouAeastorn Alaska
and Pirtaca William Sound will be
operated next * season, and it has
not bee definitely decided just
what plants wil operate, Ketchi
kan, he said, is making prepara
tions for Ae enlargement of its
fresh fish industry to offset any ill
effects from Ae possible non- opera
tion of canneries. It is A belief
there that Ae former industry
brings more money into circulation
than the cannery business and its
increase will be of material benefit

SEWARD LAUNDRY MOST
MODERN IN ALASKA
Harry Kwabe, owner of Ae Sew
ard Steam Laundry has just com
pleted Ae installing of new boilers,
mangle machines and oAer up-to
date machinery which is essential for
Ae proper handling and washing of
clothes of all kinds. The Seward
Steam Laundry at Ae present time,
while not so large as some of Ae oth
er laundries in Ae towns of Alaska,
probably contains more up- to- Ae
minute laundry devices A an any oth
er laundry in Ae territory. A new
Ford delivery car will be placed in
service just hs soon as Ae condition
of Ae streets warrant and Ae calling
for an dedlivering of all soiled and
laundered cloAes will be made in a
; prompt manner.
Kwabe, who has been in Seward
for five years has consistently re
invested his money in improvements
with the result that he is now able to
handle all the washing of Seward
satisfactorily. One of the principal
departments attached, to t|ie laundry
is the rine for the “Rough Dry” work.
There are many of the housewives of
Seward who regularly send their en
tire washing to this epartment,
where it is washed and dried and re
turned all ready for starching and
ironing. The cost per lb is now 16c
for the rough dry work and at this
prise few women can* afford to spend
the time doing the family washing.
Harry is enthusiastic over the future
outlook for Seward and says that he
has a hunch that pretty soon he will
be washing clothes for many hund
red people.
