ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1017.
ADVERTISING RATES INCREASED.
Effective April 1, the advertising rates of The Anchorage
Daily Times will be increased to such an extent as will make the
price for space in this medium more in accordance with the
service given.
Although The Anchorage Daily Times has the largest cir
culation of any paper in Alaska, and covers a larger held more
thoroughly than any other publication, the advertising rates
are the lowest in the North.
When Mr. Charles E. Herron bought The Times last
summer the rates were made low purposely in order to give
every business house in Anchorage a chance to advertise its
establishment during that busy period.
Although since that time the circulation of The Daily
Times has increased by leaps and bounds, thus making the ad
vertising more effective than ever, the rates have not been in
creased. Today the circulation of The Anchorage Daily Times
is greater than at any time since its establishment, and with the
exception of a few subscribers in the city, every paper circu
lated is paid in advance.
Even though the value of the advertising space in the An-1
chorage Daily Times has increased more than three-fold since
last year, it is probable that the rates would have been allowed
to remain at the same figure had it not been for the great in
crease in the cost of all materials which go into the production
of a newspaper. White paper has increased more than 100 per
cent; ink has .jumped toward the sky; type, presses and equip
ment of all kinds have reached a figure unheard of in past
years. The result is that while The Times, under conditions
as they existed lasst year might haVe been able to continue the
old rates, despite the much greater value given, the increased
cost of production has made it imperative that the advertising I
rates be increased.
It is papers the size ot The Times winch are hit hardest by j
the big increases in cost. While not enough paper is used to!
obtain the lowest figures such as are given to the great metro-!
politan dailies, yet much more paper is used than is consumed !
by the smaller papers on the outside or in Alaska, which means |
a tremendous daily expense.
Dozens of papers have been forced to increase their sub- '•
scription and advertising rates, while others, unable to do so
successfully, have been forced to suspend. .
The advertising rates of The Times which will be in effectj
after April 1st, are less than can be found any place in the!
states for papers of similar standing and circulation.
The Anchorage Daily Times today is publishing the best |
paper in the North, yet plans for further extensive improve
ments this spring already have been inaugurated, and with the
opening of navigation The Times will be better than ever and
the further increase in circulation will much more than offset
the advance in advertising rates.
The Times is grateful for the unstinted support which the
people of Anchorage have given this paper. This support has j
resulted in a paper of which they need not be ashamed. While
The Times lias made money, it has been Mr. Herron’s policy j
to put most of it back into the business in order to continually
better the paper. The result is that instead of a weak strug
gling paper by which the town would be wrongly judged, The!
Times is a virile, newsy publication which attracts attention
everywhere and reflects the prosperity of the newest, biggest
and best city in Alaska.
Firm in the belief that the support given The Times has
been merited, and promising a continuation of the policy which
has resulted in making The Anchorage Daily rftmes “the news
paper of Alaska,” we are
Yours for a bigger and better Anchorage,

ON $1,000 A YEAR.
(Duluth Herald)
A letter carrier in Indianapolis worked 30 years on an in
come of $1,000 a year or less; and only recently could it have
risen as high as $1,200 a year.
Yet this man today says that Providence has been kind to
him; and well he may say so, for this is what he has done:
He has reared and educated a family of four boys and
Iwo girls.
Three of the boys and one of the. girls have been through
college—in part, no doubt, by their own efforts, though the
parents deserve credit for so rearing them that they were will
ing and able to help on the college expenses.
The three boys who went to college are all civil engineers
with good positions, and the girl who went to college is a teach
er of physical training. Two of the boys helped build the Pan
ama canal. One of them was in the engineering division six
years and is now an examiner in civil engineering for the Unit
ed States civil service commission at Washington. The other
was with the Panama railroad eight years and is now in
Alaska with the United States Alaskan Engineering commis
sion. The third boy is assistant superintendent of mainten-:
ance and right-of-way with an important railroad.
The youngest boy didn’t go to college, but did get all the
common schools could give him, and has a splendid position
as managing salesman with a great corporation. The girl who
didn’t go to college took a high school course and remains at
home with her father and mother.
Every child born to this family got a fair start in life and
is doing well. The home from which they emerged into the
world is the kind of home of which the foundations of the re
public are built.
“The Store That Has What You Want—When Yon Want It.'*

Vol. 1. No. 187. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and D
Save your eyes on the trail by using the “Wilson Goggles"
and Zylbex Eye Protector. ..We have a complete assortment of
many styles in amber and smoked glasses.
Another very handy little outfit for the trail or camp is
Johnson & Johnson’s Red Cross Utility Kit at 50c, 11 articles
of everyday use.
If you lived as the cave man lived, your health would take
care of itself. The cave man ate coarse food and lived a strenu
ous life in the open. His digestive apparatus wasTsuited to that
kind of an existence. You inherit from the cave man the same
internal mechanism but you eat different food and lead a dif
ferent kind of life. Hence the almost universal prevalence of
constipation—and its constant menace to health. Your prob
lem is to adjust that “cave man” internal mechanism of yours
to the sedentary life and concentrated food of civilized life.
American Mineral Oil accomplishes the adjustment. It does
not upset the ordinary processes of digestion—and it does not
form a habit. We recommend San-Tox American Oil at $1.25
per full pint.
On Valentine day a customer of ours wanted a box of candy.
We sold him a box of Augustine & Kyer’s Chocolates. In speak
ing of different kinds of candy he asked me why we didn’t carry
cheaper box candy in stock. There is only one thing we can an
swer to that. We sell Augustine & Kyer’s chocolates for tlie
same reason that we sell Waterman’s Ideal Fountain pens, for
the same reason we sell Eastman Kodaks, for the same reason
we use Squibb’s, Mulford’s and Parke Davis’ chemicals in our
prescription department, for the same reason that we buy Stet
son’s Hats or Cheney’s neckwear, and Hart, Schaffuer & Marx’
Clothes, for the same reason we handle all quality goods. We
want to be identified with the best only. And in that lies your
safety and advantage in dealing with us.
