Just A few Words About
SHORTAGE
. . . If w** had shipped short lust fall our camp would have been ia
a bad Jix, and some of our population would have been distressed
Hut intending to start an Advertising Campaign and knowing
that our trade would he considerably increased, when our low prices
and the high standard of our me re handle becaane known to all.
and as it is impossible to make a drive to increase one’s business
with a shortage of supplies, therefore, we shipped in ne&riy 50 per
«ent more goods this year than usual. Our City Assessor dfd not
overlook this fact **ither. Our times Pur this year have been in
< reased accordingly.
While our sales, so fur this winter, have increased nearly 50
percent, yet for the reason above Stated we know of no serious
shortage in our store, except on eggs, and for that circumstance wre
are not to be blamed.
It is the individuals, families and small outfits especially that
we are catering to. and we take this opt>ortirnity to announce that
we have goods enough to take care of all our patronage.
It has been vary gratifying to us to realize the increased vol
ime of business coming our way. and we wail! frankly stale that
this increase la going to enable us to do business on a still smaller
margin of profit, ajid thus all our customers will reap the benefit
of our drive for increased business.
We will make quota toons of prices in the next issue, but
meanwhile we want to cal! your attention to the fa»< that we have
■ educed all our SHOK IMCS and III HUKK HOOTS $1.00 per pair.
.Hid as soon as navigation opons, we will guarantee to sell them for
less than outside retail prices.

GOLOVIN PEOPLE WANT
MAIL ROUTE ('HANGED
The people of Golovin and others
who use the mall trail have express
ed a desire that the Road Commis
sion change the present mall route
between Golovin to Moses. They
desire that the trail follow the
Quinahok river to the Hot Springs
end thence across ountry to Mose*
instead of along ithe coast. By the
new route a distance between 2%
and 5 miles will be saved.
Another advantage to be gained
by a new route is that travelers wll’
be &Ue to take advantage of the
Hot Springs, which are beautifully
situated in a, country surrounded by
timber and protected against severe
weather conditions. At the present
time the Springs, are little known
because of their inaccessibility, but
once a trail is established sod the
public becomes acquainted with
this ideal natural hot spring resort,
there is no doubt that travel alone
the route will be increased. Many
persons win take advantage of ac
comodations along the route to
mate these springs their object.
