THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
At an announced meeting of the recently formed Boosters'
club tonight, definite action will be taken toward aiding the
matter of harborage improvements and fortifications for the
port of Anchorage. This is the right spirit. We must all work
together for the advancement of Anchorage, and just at this
time, these two projects jire, of the first importance. The local
Chamber of Commerce is bending its efforts alon'g the same
lines and lias enlisted the aid of the Alaska bureau of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce, and what is of more importance still,
has called to its aid, in these important projects, the National
Chamber of Commerce, an association composed of most of i
the Chambers of Commerce in the United States and of which j
the local chamber is a member.
The local chamber lias employed every avenue of aid and I
assistance that it could command, in behalf of these projects, j
and welcomes the efforts of the Boosters’ club along the same ;
lines.
So vital are these two projects to Anchorage that it is up
to this community to employ every legitimate effort toward the
achievement of the desired ends. It is highly encouraging and
spells success to see everybody working harmoniously and in
telligently toward the goal of the ambition of this town—har
bor improvements and fortifications.
Tt is a fine commentary upon the public-spirit and pro
gressiveness of the. citizenry of Anchorage. All things are
working together for our good and our advancement.

BUSINESS ETHICS AND ADVERTISING.
Advertising lias become recognized as an essential element
in modem life. Without it industry could not continue. It has
been clearly demonstrated that it is useless to make things for
sale unless there is some systematic and intelligent way of let
ting the consumer know how things may be obtained. And it
is further proven that it is of no use to advertise a product un
less that product is a good product of its kind. Advertising
will not sell that which of itself has no merit. It is important
to lay emphasis upon the necessity of truthfulness in advertis
ing. Not only that the goods themselves that are advertised
have to be meritorious, but what is said about them in adver
tisements must be said in good faith. It is more than evident
that advertising has now become one of the forces for ethical
progress in business.
Wo guarantee every product that is advertised by us, and
it is a double guarantee because that product is also guaranteed
by the manufacturers. In speaking the other day about cut
lery, Mr. Shyman, representative of a house selling Columbia
and Universal knives, told me to give a customer a new knife if
one bought does not prove satisfactory. And it is so with most,
,>f the reputable manufacturers.
The SAN-TOX products are in our estimation the best on
the market today.
It is getting near the time when a SPRING TONIC is ad
visable. When you buy one, remember the San-Tox Blood Pur
ifier at $1.25 per I -pt. bottle.
