NOTICE OF APPRECIATION.
We desire to thank our customers
in Anchorage and surrounding coun
try for the large business you have
given us during the past year. It has
proved to us that the people know
and desire good goods. And we have
done so much larger business than we
expected that it keeps us busy increas
ing and equipping our plant so as to
give you meats in perfect condition
We have a nice stock of meat, per
haps enough to last till the first boat
arrives in the spring, and it is in per
fect condition. We manufacture all
our own sausage and guarantee it to
be of the best of meats.
Our own cured Hams and Bacon is
going fast and we hope they will hold
out till spring. We will probably be
short on Purity Butter, so buy ac
cordingly. We hope you will continue
to give us your business during the
coming season 1917, and I assure you
that <ve will not leave anything un
done to give you meats in perfect con
dition. Our market is open for in
spection and you will do us a favor to
call and ask for what you want.
Wishing you all a prosperous and
happy New Year we remain, yours to
serve. SANITARY MARKET,

WE ARE VERY
GLAD TO SAY
we handle high grade meats
only. It’s not just a claim, it’s
a solid fact. Yet we do not
charge high prices. On the
contrary you’ll probably pay
less for meat here than you
have been paying heretofore.
Give us a chance to prove that
high-class meats can be sold at
low prices.
