RECOGNIZED authorities i-n the English language de
fine it as. "one who gives his custom or trade;
especially, one who deals REGULARLY at a
given establishment.”
Such is OUR definition of Ahe word, and our aim is.
and always ha.* been, to protect OUR CUSTOMERS, or what
we. especially, call our regular customers, against any short
age that has come to our notice from time to time during the
Some of our friend* have felt slighted because we have
been unable to give them the same services on SHORTAGES
as we are OBLIGED to give to our regular customers. It is
this unjust feeling that we want them to overcome. We do
not intentionally slight anybody. Tt is our wish to serve the
public to the utmost of our ability, and it is with regret, when
It happens, that we are unable to supply any one with such
items which we only have enough of. for our regular customers
It so happens that we are now in position to do busi
ness on a much smaller margin of profit than heretofore, and
also at the same time give the public of Nome and Seward
Peninsula a better service. “This fact we have already men
tioned in a former issue of the Nugget,” In order to sell
closer and give better service, we have shipped in a good deal
more merchamfiae than usual; as we could not make a drAve
lor more business unless we had plenty of goods to do it with.
Hence ft is that we are not only able to take care of our
REGULAR CUSTOMERS, but have accomodated a good many
others, who have since become such.
The result has been very gratifying up-to-date. We
have held down the price on commodities in Nome, and our
sales have been increased nearly one hundred dollars per day.
over and above, our sales lor the same period of a year ago.
We again take thte -opportunity to thank the public for
their good will and support, and we promise In return that
we will do still better in the future.
At present we are sending out for more merchandise
than we ever shipped before, and when the first boat arrives,
you will find us hewing still closer to the mark, for the benefit
of all concerned.
