AL WHITE IS
AGAIN IN CHARGE
License of Big Place Was Trans
ferred to Him This
Morning -
The transfer of the license of
Thomas Lawson to Ai. White was
made this morning and tie has
again entered the Big Place, lie
announces that his policy will be
the same in future as in the past.
Everybody is invited to make the
Big Place their headquarters. The
Big Place is the largest of its
kind in Alaska and can accommo
date all who make it their loung
ing place.
A few minor changes will tye
made and go in effect about Feb
ruary 12. Budweiser beer will be
«»n draught as well as the home
beer. Tim agency of the Ann
heuser-Huscli was <olfered Mr.
White while he was in Sail Fran
cisco, and on account of(he large
amount of that beer in bottles
which was used here during I lie
jpast summer Mr. While tinds it
heller and more satisfactory on
draught, providing, of course, af
ter the shipping jl is in its world
famed condition.
It is also announced that dur
ing I he day a merchant 's lunch
will be served to all patrons of
the house, changing lb.* menu ev
ery day. This is now the custom
of all firsl-class houses oil the
outside, the cost of the lunch be
ing small comparatively to flie
grade received. The American
Press service has been secured
and all the notable events repro
duced by photograph will be post
ed in the Big Place daily. This
new method of letting the public
see reproduced pictures of all no
table events they read about has
been made very popular in all the
cities where the service is taken.
A city as large as San Francisco
is only allowel four subscribers
and places like Valdez and larg
er. are allowed only one. The rea
son given is that too many sub
scribers spoil the attraction, and
none of them would find it pay
ing to have the service.
The only other change an^
nounced is that the Lovera cigar,
Pacitlco, will be handled at the
nar in conjunction with the oth
er standard cigars handled at the
cigar department.
The familiar old sign, "Busi
ness is (Jood," has been changed
and it will now read "Business
is Belter."
